yeah indeed, too much thinking gets in the way

took me 5 minutes of worthless thinking and only a split-second of open-mindness

great one TechDiff!

It drove me nuts, I googled the answer to the rose petals thing My Mistake

I got to level 10 on notpron by adding the following code to the CSS on level 9
code:
1:
2:
3:
.not {
background-color:#777;
}


But now I'm well stuck at level 10...

Thats the weird thing with this puzzle. Its not that its easy or not, it depends on the way you think and approach a problem.
I've shown this to a few people and everyone has got on with it in a different way. People who excel at maths seem to try and find the most insane methods of finding the answer and fail every time. I showed this to a friend who's been doing quantum infomatics and physics at Uni. Hes fucking amazing at maths and scarily inteligent, but could not get the answer for this. I showed this to another mate who didnt finish school, and he got it in like 30 seconds. Thats why i like this puzzle, its not about inteligence or problem solving skills, but about being open minded.

That notpron game is really similar to qwyzzle. (www.qwyzzle.tk)
I not gonna get started on it though because I spent too much of my life completeing qwyzzle and I'm glad Ive got my life back. You should check it out though. Its really difficult and really adictive.
