Ever heard of Petals around the rose? It's a simple little puzzle played with five dice. You have to figure out the answer based on the numbers on the dice... it is always even (or 0) and the name is significant. That is all you are allowed to know. It took me about ten minutes to figure it out. Good luck with it, and don't tell others the answer.

On a more inflammatory note, I started my first ever online petition last week. I, and many others, are outraged at the lack of Japanese input in the US version of FFXI, so here's a petition to try and get it back. At the time of posting this, there are 119 signatures. My friend at Square has seen it, without me even mentioning it to him, so positive things could happen if the numbers are big enough. If you're reading this, and you care, please sign! As it stands now, it's difficult to communicate with Japanese players because of the lack of kanji and kana input. Romaji ha yominikui dakara.
