don't tell people the answer.

 

[Kulazzi]

I think he just did...


edit: or maybe not

I love you waf.

The only thing that is allowed to be said is that the game is called PETALS AROUND THE ROSE and that the answer is always 0 or even.

 

[withoutaface]

0 is even

 

[Slidey]

Prove it.

 

[Xayma]

0≡2 mod 2.

Since 2 is even, it stands that 0 is.

Even is defined as a number which can be expressed in the form n=2k, where k is an integer. 0 is an integer. n=2(0)=0 certainly fits this form.

QED

 

[Slidey]

I like the mod stuff. That's how I test for even numbers in programming. But then, isn't that presuming 0≡2mod2?

It's like proving 1+1=2

How about this: I sincerely apologise for I have been owned.

EDIT: For the record, 1+2 does NOT equal 2.

haha.... so complicated !

nah, i made my lil siblings to try to do it, but they didn't get it neither. they were just guessing random numbers.

Think of it this way, if the game was being played with 2 people involved, the guy telling the correct answer would know the answer almost instantly, meaning no complex calculations or anything like that occurs in the game

i think the key lies in the title

'petals around the rose'

would that be considered a spoiler? will i get kicked for that?

No you are allowed to tell them that and that the answer is always even
