I got this in an email today and thought I'd share. Very cool brain teaser.

Enjoy,

Very interesting. Took me about a half an hour. It's one of those brain teasers that's feels impenetrable until you figure it out, then it clicks, and it's completely obvious and you wonder why you didn't see it before.

2 minutes - ran 1 test. It was correct, tested the theory and then
confirmed the theory. No clue what a rose has to do with it.

Spent about 8 min getting it, no idea about the rose eather.

If you don't know what a rose has to do with it I doubt that you actually got it.

Took me about 10 seconds. I'm not sure why it was so fast. But, it just leaped at me. I'm chalking it up to luck.

Hmmm - A pattern law can be uniformly applied; there is a rational inverse
