| Once upon a time there was a fool of a farmer. Family he had none, no stable boys either, so he talked to his animals instead. And, good man that he was, whenever he made a groschen or two, he shared it with them according to his own rules. Every hen in the coop was paid five groschen, every bee in the hive 15, and the spider in the loft bagged a full 20 groschen. And now you tell me, how much did the cat get? | 10 groschen. |
| Jaromir the coachman hailed from Raborsch. One morning, he set off for Kuttenberg with an empty coach. Three lads boarded in Bohunowitz. When arrived in Bojischt, one of the boys got out and a washerwoman took his place. In Horschan, the washerwoman went on her way and a pedlar and his daughter boarded. In Pschitoky, the remaining lads alighted and took the pedlar’s daughter with them. And straightaway, two fishermen got in. And on reaching Kuttenberg that evening, they invited the coachman to the bathhouse and got pig-drunk. And now you tell me, what was the coachman’s name? | Jaromir. |
| A baliff has 12 men join up for service one day. The baliff was glad, but soon discovered that he didn’t have enough gear for them in the armoury. So those 12 men filed onto the square for the next morning’s roll call. Six of them were wearing body armour, four had helmets. Only three of them wore both a helmet and body armour. Now, tell me, how many men were unlucky enough not to have either a helmet or armour? | Five. |
Starting from the second riddle, Barley will ask you to wager groschen, with stakes beginning at 100 and increasing to 150 for the subsequent riddles. Upon answering correctly, you have the choice to take Barley's wager or opt for experience towards a random skill. Depending on Henry's current progress, it might be more beneficial to choose skill experience over immediate financial gain, especially if you're excelling at dice games.
The riddles themselves vary in complexity. The second riddle is based on the number of legs each animal has, the third tests your memory, and the fourth requires some basic arithmetic to determine the gear distribution among the men.
