I figured it out a year ago after about an hour of hard work... unnecessary hard work I should add... I'll try to give hints without ruining the answer... Because the answer is always even, try to figure out how that is possible if the numbers are random... I mean if you add them all up, there is the same chance of it being even or odd... In my opinion, the ROSE is the most important... find the rose, then look for the petals... Sorry, can't be more specific without all of it being edited out... Remember, the visual representation of a die, or an actual die is better than 5 numbers. Oh, and anybody have a link to "Petals and Roots"? there is a slight reference on wikipedia but I've tried googling it and I'm not coming up with anything Well..

So after twenty minutes I just gave up and wrote a computer program that would analyze the several hundred rolls I had accumulated. It got the solution in about a minute or so, and the code was relatively short. So to those of you who are struggling - try getting your computer to do the busy work...
