Yeah I've seen that one... it's one of those things that the answer was so obvious yet some people take hours trying to figure it out... sounds familiar

it's the kind of "riddle" that I don't like, that scares me right away :S

I didn't even understand what this thing is about ... I hope I'm just too tired ...

I didn't get it either. It shows all the dice rolled and then it asks for a guess on the total? just add it up. the directions make no sense to me.

I tried "just adding it up" and it kept telling me the answer was 2. And I had like 4 sixes.

Makes no sense to me.

I know. why is it telling u to guess when the total is right in front of u, yet the total isn't corect.

chulen.. good theory. But as I said I roll a couple of sixes and some fives and a four and it tells me the answer is 2 or 0.

lol.. just got how it works... good game
hint: the name of the gam,e is very important

I'm testing your theory

I rolled a one, one, three, three, five.

I added just the outside ones up and got 8 and it said ***YES***

I rolled six, six, four, five, two
I guessed 10 and got "It's 4, not 10"
