Grim Reaper gave me the below-quoted riddle and did not accept the answer while punishing me with a loss of 1000 experience points.

I suggest adding more variants to the existing correct answer(s). In my opinion he should at least accept the following answer patterns as correct:

  • {number} (such as "9")
  • {numeral} (such as "nine")
  • {number} days (such as "9 days")
  • {numeral} days (such as "nine days")

[12:03] <grim reaper=""> If you seek to leave this place you must solve a riddle
[12:03] <monsterdhal> leave
[12:03] <grim reaper=""> Try this riddle: If 5 machines make 5 widgets in 5 days how many days does it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?
[12:03] <monsterdhal> X days
[12:03] <grim reaper=""> Incorrect! Try again, or ask my mirror to let you leave.

[12:04] <monsterdhal> hi
[12:04] <grim reaper=""> If you seek to leave this place you must solve a riddle
[12:04] <monsterdhal> leave
[12:04] <grim reaper=""> You must solve the riddle which I previously set you: If 5 machines make 5 widgets in 5 days how many days does it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?
[12:04] <monsterdhal> X
[12:04] You solved the riddle correctly and earned 100 XP.
