I’m kinda pissed that i’ve solved it in about 3 minutes.
I always considered myself reasonably intelligent and aparantly “smart people” average about 2 hours.
Maybe i have a keen eye for a trend

SIS,
when u hit roll, the 5 dice have different values ranging from 1 – 6. Now just imagine that your looking down on the roses (dice) and that the dice that has a dot in the middle eg. this being the 1, 3 and 5. With the first dice, being number one, there are no other dots on the dice surrounding it, but on the dice that has 3 numbers on it, one in the centre and 2 surrounding it, therefore the stem of the rose is the centre dot and it has 2 petals surrounding it. same goes for the 5, the one in the centre is them stem, with four petals surrounding it.
hope this helps sis
Cheers Matt

Had a goand got it right in my third go, i think this exercise is more visual than anything else rather tham anything to do with mathematics. They say there are 7 levels of intelligence so it does not necessarily make you smart or not as smart the longer you take.

The clue is immediately apparent in the title, then just apply that visually.
There is little mathematics involved.
I prob got it as I am literal minded with little imagination lol.
