petals around the rose
Has anyone tried this game before?.....I was just introduced to it and its driving me nuts. Supposedly the smarter you are the longer it takes to solve it because you think too much. Theres an article online that says it took Bill Gates a year to figure it out.
Give it a try:

I must be incredibly thick cos I got it within five minutes!! I'm quite upset now!! I personally think it means you can 'think outside the box'!!

Oh my god, I had no idea how smart I was. I know this now cause I have no idea what I'm doing, especially on the one I got right!

that's so unfair! I'm really smart! I was a straight A student. I have a degree, and I'm now in postgrad education. How come I got it? Maybe it's because most smart people have no common sense, and I do! Someone help, I feel seriously stupid!!

I'm either really dumb or a genious and I've never thought of myself to be the later. Oh, and I'm impatient so I tried a few times, went huh and gave up. And, math, forget it.

Well, I'm REALLY dumb too BW. I got it right every time. I just thought outside the box before I choose my first answer. It's really quite simple.
