Edit:  Been given the typical hint yet?  If not, want it?

Took me two try before understanding the problem. The thing is that you've got to look carefully at the dice in my opinion.

I've seen it before (in fact it was posted here on HLP a while back). Didn't take me long to solve it then. Faster than Bill Gates for certain :)

Visual mind FTW...

Got it inside five minutes. The name does kind of suggest a visual puzzle and TBH I was on the right lines to begin with.

I know:
Spoiler:
The name is significant.
The numbers are all even
The answer

Which are supposedly what you're supposed to tell beginners.

In addition, I have a something of a grasp of what the answer will approximately be...will it be big or small mostly.


Other than that I'm trying to do it myself.

If a visual mind is what's needed I'm surprised I'm not good at this, I have a very active imagination... ;7 :shaking: :eek: :nervous:

Solved it within 10 minutes. I didn't realize the significance of the name until after I solved it though.
Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill
