Thanks, It's hard to believe that people like Bill Gates took a long time to get it, but for me it was no prob. Kinda makes me wonder why I don't have $10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

I had a string of good guesses to start off and felt rather brilliant, then fell into a bog as my reality set in. Around the half hour mark things turned up and became clear, though I wasn't sure of myself. I got it in the end, but I see no relevance to roses, or petals around the rose, or anything else.

Well, it's really very simple you see, from my point of view anyway.
