You can't do that! The Potentate of the Rose will send its men to you. (which I figure they must be like Men in Black, but dressed in pink or something).
The Biggest clue is already here, in this thread.

Well, I can't find it... But I'm not sure I understand the rules and the hint. (And what is an even number?)

Peter, maybe you are the smartest out of the bunch, or at least that is what Richard Duke would says. Read below. Me I think it was an excuse just because it had taken him so long to figure it out. ;D

In that case, Shan, I will give up completely ;D

Me I think it was an excuse just because it had taken him so long to figure it out. In a sense, no, it's true. Somewhat. Though I don't think Dr. Duke phrased it correctly, it isn't that the smarter you are the harder it is, it is the more knowledge you have, in math especifically, the harder it is. My first instint was about formulas, and algoritms and equations. Even wrote some. I was thinking about writing a program. But then I read the rest of the thread and saw DPR's post, and it hit me when I read the clues again. The game isn't about knowledge, though it is quite cleverly designed to appear so. It is about lateral thinking, which is another different set of skills which can't be learnt.

Question: is petals around the rose an expression or related to one?
