Kinda the abstract B.S. riddle answer I would expect from this era.At some point gamebooks switched from “write down the riddle answer so you can feel guilty when you turn to section NNN and then proceed anyway, you filthy liar!” To riddles whose answer is a number.Then some of those math problems were wrong and either output the wrong number, or were mathematically unsolvable. (There is an infamous example of the latter in one of the later Lone Wolf books.)And/or, when the books were edited from their native language to American English they often also got cut to be shorter, which meant re-numbering sections, which often left the math riddle pointing nowhere or somewhere nonsensical.TLDR, don’t do riddles in gamebooks.</blockquote>
