*psst* Are you enjoying Scam School? You've gotta check out our brand-new series "The Modern Rogue" at http://youtube.com/modernrogue. If you've seen it, reply and tell me what you think. If not, then get on over there. I'll bet you a dollar you love it. -Brian

@FastEDismo February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I cheated

@MikeLedbetter February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I'm a cheater lol pretty good

@phenomonox February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I remember back in the day when i watched this originally, I couldn't go into a bar. Oh how times have changed. 😂

@Fina1Verse February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

Did Jen ever figure it out? Even after the explanation sge was like "is that 8" and sojeonevsaid "no".

@sanjafire February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

Ah yes these 2010s hairdos ahahaha

@seansmith2289 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I am a cheater. I had to. I am so stupid I Google it and still didn't understand. It took several explanations and a video to teach me. I am a moron.

@FuryousD February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I figured it out watching a clip of someone doing this with their daughter and they did not explain it the 2nd time watching the clip, as was stated the name is important and without that little clue right there it would be much harder to figure out imo.

@FuryousD February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

How is this in any way a scam? Petals around the rose is a logic puzzle that is fairly easy to work out.

@BejyBoi February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

Dear god, ive been looking for this video for the past 3 years.

@Blake-jl8lh February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I've been here for what is now over a decade and YouTube just threw me this nostalgia trip

@Snowy-245 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I got it 🤣

@thewebmaster3 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I'm the wash out- I just wasted an hour of my life, because I could have never figured this out. I will say it was an hour well spent

@Independentmind1776 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

Petals around the Roses literally counting the petals around the rose think about it

@KING_8 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I'll figure it out one day

@Chuycabra February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

But does the dilemma count if I watched the solution on a future episode first?
I knew the answer right off the bat from watching less spikey Brian explain it!

@flamecrew9atroblox958 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I got it pretty fast but im stupid at everything else. Soo, at dice, im smarter than Bill.

@jokercrabb2366 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

i paused this video and it took me 3 hours to figure it out its brilliant

@Not_An_EV February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I made a dungeon for my d&d world that is 33 rooms of riddles and puzzles culminating in them finding an old lady who will challenge them to "treasures around the dragon" if they get it right and one of them figures it out they get the easy encounter if they don't they get the harder one. Good luck if they try googling the name to figure it out too.

@LoneMaestro- February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

When I figured it out I laughed. But the coolest part of this is once you know they it you can host the game and play it with others.

@PhilippBoettcher February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

The most helpful roll for me was when the outcome was Zero.

@scootinand February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

Revision3, GoDaddy, and GameFly. Good god, I'm back in high school again, aren't I?

@juderudd1711 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I got it at double speed before he showed

@grahamfraser1990 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I love this trick! First one I learned from Scam School. And so easy to twist. Dead Roses, Dead Petals (awesome band name), etc.

@seankoenigs21 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I didn’t even try to do it I just watched them try it then watched then became a shiftless nimrod

@FabianPyka February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

i figured it out pretty quickly

@CaseyHarmon February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

Jokes on you, I learned the secret in a Josie episode.

So I guess the joke is on me.

@wesleygrizzle9145 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

Not gonna lie I just watched the newest video about pedals around the rose and didn’t realize you already did this video

@tiggert4002 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

The person who doesn't deserve to breed is mow teaching his daughter during quarantine. And those are some of my favorite videos now.

How times change.

@MattMoore1 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I love that this video has recently been remade so that Brian is teaching his daughter the trick.. =D

@SuperCripple February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

Wonder if he ever imagined he'd be teaching his teenage daughter this trick 9 years on.

@III-zy5jf February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I watched this when it came out and I haven’t gotten better. 🙁

@albertoescamilla6778 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I got it as soon as he did

@connavardeverinne2540 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

took me half an hour and i end up solving it with algebra instead

@Brookesey February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

Honestly thought I had it…. my guess was just saying a random number. I didnt catch that they were all even.

@iammongo2106 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

Got it. Took me to the break before the reveal, but I worked it out without pausing or rewinding. I R smart!

@98.11Deet February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I was so tempted to cheat, but I resisted. After 15 minutes or so, I finally cracked it! Glad I stayed true!

@Vincent-kl9jy February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

took me 3 examples to solve. bill gates is a dummy

@MyHouseOnTheMoon February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I got it at 6:38! Yes!

@dmoneyakaseven February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

Yeah I was WAY off on getting the answer

@immortalbeing8776 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

What are you trying to find out?you don't even explain the question??

@lunchbox6882 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

well I figured it out a different way. i forgot about the rose thing. after writing down the numbers and just playing different math with them i figured out that he is adding all the odd dice and then removing the total number of odd dice revealing the total. for example the five dice are 1 2 3 4 5, odd numbers being 1 3 5 totaling 9, then minus the number of odd dice in this case 3. 9-3 equals 6. but to make it even easier skip the 1 dice just add the 3 and 5 dice on any roll and minus the number of 3s and 5s you get. works everytime.

@rebeccasurgeoner2776 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

Yes I finally got it after 20 minutes, after I realized why the name is important

@seaburn40 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I got it.

@podcastetcetera8062 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

Mames, lo resolví en 10 segundos

@07gaurav07 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

Lame

@dariusmitchell9397 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I’m usually fooled every time I watch these videos but I figured this out immediately after Brian’s second roll

@ObeyCamp February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

This is SUCH a great party puzzle because a few people get on board very quickly, but most others will stand and wonder what's going on, and then eventually everyone gathers around and wants to be a part of the thing!
I will say, though, that I think the "fishing polar bears" version that Diamond Jim Tyler taught more recently is better because the answer is exactly as easy to spot, but also the dice showing one pip become part of the answer in that version, and also there's two pieces of information in every answer for that version (polar bears total & specifically polar bears that are fishing",) and I just think that makes it just a little bit more complex, or at least it makes it seem more complex, and figuring out the answer seems like it's a bit more rewarding for that version even though it's no harder.

Go check out that version!
It's in this episode:

@shaggywolf9003 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

I figured this game out on the first roll of the dice

@jacobsnelson1 February 4, 2025 - 4:47 pm

Easy to figure out when you have polar bears as friends
