Got it immediately after reading the back story on the game. The name of the game is significant.

The first time I saw this, it took me about two minutes to figure it out, but I'll admit that I had a little help.<br /><br />I have a passion for logical games, as my friends know. They presented me with this game, expectimg me to fret over it for at least 45 minutes. While I sat to figure it out, they began to talk about the game around me. They were careful not to give me the answer, but they gave me one very subtle, yet important clue. They were rather dismayed that I figured it out faster than any of them did.

Took me about 15 rolls. I kept getting interupted, and having to come back. <br /><br />It is perplexing at first, isn't it?
