Hola, se trata de un acertijo que me topé en un juego RPG, la mecánica del puzzle consiste en ordenar la información dada para tener una versión correcta de los hechos, no obstante, hay juegos de palabras y algunas están mal escritas deliberadamente, espero me ayuden a resolver el acertijo.
Aquí les dejo una posible solución, mas no estoy seguro de si es correcta o no, la dejo sólo para que la tomen de referencia y puedan ayudarme.
"anaso, 41, attacked by mother-bear, 117 days",
"elaeus, 39, attacked by dragon, 100 days",
"gadinius, 42, stepped in fire, 83 days",
"heso, 40, attacked by troll, 66 days",
"hestus, 38, drank poison, 134 days".
Abajo, en forma de respuesta, pondré todo el acertijo, ya que es demasiado largo y no puedo ponerlo aquí
Disculpen que esté en Inglés, pero es que así debe de ser, ya que como dije anteriormente, existen juegos de palabras que solo pueden formarse en esta lengua

Se trata de un acertijo.
Poco tiene que ver con matemática.
Alguna vez desarrollé un programa
para resolver este tipo de acertijo,
lo que se necesita es cierta claridad en las pistas.
Trata de separar las pistas de todo lo demás,
el trabajo más arduo...
Así comienza el acertijo:
Book review of Netlios opus:
"Dangers of Adventures"
by Adrenius
A lot of people have read, and of course will read in the future, Netlios popular series of
Books "Adventurers Guide Through Tibia. I-VI". But could this book really be a guide for
adventurers? I am not quite sure.
It is rather confusing to read these books. A lot of stories were told, but do these stories
really belong to each other? Could these people really exist? I doubt it!
Once a traveller came to me, who wanted to convince me that Netlios stories are real.
I asked him to tell me the names (in alphabetical order), the ages, the reasons why they stopped
their journeys and the length of their adventures.
At the beginning, I wanted him to give me the first name, his reasons and all this.
He wispered:
"Anaso, 38, troll attacked, 66 days".
I asked him to tell me about the next person:
"Elaeus, 40, steped into fire, 100 days".
I also asked him about the last three persons, and he gave me his answers.
At the beginning, his words seemed plausible to me. But after thinking about it and reading
parts of Netlios' stories again, I noticed, that this can't be true.
A lot of people came to me, bringing "their" versions of (wrong) solutions to my questions.
There was never someone, who was able to give me a correct answer...
Does an answer exist? If it does: How does it look like?
I decided to give a reward to the first one, who is able to tell me the correct answer.
Dangers of Adventures
by Netlios
Volume I
An adventure is an exciting thing to do. Nevertheless it might be rather dangerous,
one may even die during his journeys through the lands!
I wrote the following books in order to show the fates of 5 men who devoted themselves
to discover new parts of Tibia. Each of them was a brave warrior and a superior explorer
and they all went through exciting adventures. Their journeys were of different duration -
one ended after 66 days, another after 100 days. Each journey ended in a very dangerous
situation; one situation even ended deadly!

Volume II
The adventurers, whom we will have a look at, were all born in different years and were therefore all of different ages when they started their travelings through Tibia.
The oldest among these men was aged 42; the youngest was 38, when he started to discover new areas of our land. None the five was as old as anyone else of them.
One journey ended after 83 days, one after 117 and finally one after 134 days. Anaso, one of the explorers, was a very brave sword-fighter. His brother Elaeus, who started an expedition just like his brother, never wanted to use a sword - instead he was an excellent magician.
Hestus, another explorer whom i will tell about, always wore green trousers, so no-one saw how dirty it was and he never had to wash it.

The first potential source of danger I want to discuss is fire.
Of course, fire is necessary to survive in the wilderness - to cook our food, to have light, to warm ourselves on a cold and dark night...
But always take care: fire doesn't help us all the time! Let me give you an example:
One of our explorers was wounded badly, because he stepped into an open fire hehad made himself to cook some fish he just had caught in the nearby river. Of course, this was the end of his journey; it was shorter than the travellings of the youngest among the five adventurers.

Volume IV
The important topic I will now examine is: How can I be sure to drink enough?
Where do I get a drink?
Well, there are not very many sources of drinks: First, you can take some potions of water with you.
Second, you can "find" something on your way. For example, you might cross a river or perhaps it
might rain one day or the other. And maybe you can even find drinks on your way, but be careful!
You never know what is inside the potion you find.
Let me again give you an example to illustrate this:
One of our five men travelling through Tibia (his name was longer than the name of the adventurer,
who was attacked by a troll and therefore had to stop his exploration) one day found a filled
potion on his way. He was very thursty, and so he drank the liquid inside. He didn't know (how should he?) that it was poisoned. After some moments he noticed, that he felt worse and worse. At this moment, he had to stop and return to his house.
By the way, the name of this man (the poisoned one) was shorter than the name of the man,
whose journey was over after 83 days.

Volume V
The next thing, maybe the most important topic these days, we will closer examine, are monsters. Most adventurers die through monsters - be it because people are not well enough prepaired, be it because some people are surprised by eighter the apperance or the powers of a monster, be it because suddenly there are 20 monsters where you have expected only one. Always be aware: Our land is in fact dangerous and you always have to take into account that arround the next corner some monsters await you - monsters which you have never seen before!
Of course, I have a little story on this topic:
One adventurer of the five - his trip was at least 18 days shorter than the trip of Hestus, who was one year younger than him - climbed down a ladder, not thinking about the danger he might be in. When he finally touched the ground again, he saw himself eye in eye with a fire-spitting dragon. He tried to flee - too late. His body was found weeks after his death...
Just to mention it: none of the two explorers mentioned above (Hestus and the man who was killed by a dragon) were 41 years old. The journey of the 41-year-old man was longer than the journey of the man who died during his adventure.

Volume VI
Because this topic seems the most important for me, I decided to write another book to warn people of the danger of being attacked by monsters. Two more of our adventurers (the ones I always tell about) were attacked by monsters:
Elaeus and the man, whos journey ended after 66 days, both were attacked by monsters. Both were jounger than Gadinius and the man who only barely escaped from the attacks of a mother-bear, who defended her babies. Heso, who too was one of our adventurers, never saw a bear in his whole life.
One of the five adventurers was attacked by a pack of trolls!
On Netlios VI books about adventurers
I think Netlios is a liar. I followed all tips given by him in his books, but i didn't become a great adventurer.
I really don't know what to do - but I think, becoming a farmer instead of an adventurer is a good choice. Sheeps are not as dangerous as dragons are, and it's better to drink a glass of milk than a glass of green slime!
Maybe it would help to find the last two parts of "Dangers of Adventures", because i only read the first four parts... the others are vanished a long time ago... if I could only find them, but how should I without being an adventurer? I need the books to be an adventurer, and to get the books, I need to be an adventurer!
Being a farmer is really better for my nerves...
Espero puedan ayudarme, muchísimas gracias!
