Checkmate!: Another "Petals Around The Rose" type game

[Kairus]

Ok after some time I could finally solve how the "petals around the rose" worked. Yes, it sounds lame, but I couldn't do it the first time I played it. Now I think I have it, except for the fact that I didn't at all think of the relation to the petals around a rose. I just thought about it in a mathematical way.
Can anyone explain me how the solution is related to the petals around a rose??

Spoiler

My solution to the game was: (sum of the odd dices) - (amount of odd dices)

It is the solution, but can you explain why it is? You know, in relation to the name and all?

No, really, I can't tell how it relates to a rose and its petals.
Can you tell me?

It doesn't relate to a rose and its petals...
It just shares a similiarity to a game called "Petals Around the Rose".

As far as I've noticed, kairus was actually talking about Petals around the Rose

Ah, sorry, then.
In that case:

All odd dice have a dot in the middle. That is the rose. The dots around the middle one are the petals. Simply count them, and you have succeeded!

Sorry if I misunderstood, anyway.

Oh, thank you Al Ninio, that explains everything. I'm sure I'd never have thought of it.

The fields under the dices can be altered to what you want them... Nice little tip.
now you can ffigure it out. BTW ssh

1 2 3 4 5 = 6

Try again...
