knights and mages game/riddle

[BMiBudster]

hi, im playing kings bounty armored princess and i clicked on a building that had steward shivons living in it and he plays this moronic and impossible to understand game called knights and mages...

I've tried to beat him and figure out how this stupid game/riddle works when i realized a) when one option works if you try that option again it MAY NOT work thus always making this moronic game random....

and b) after beatin him 4 times and losing the 5th time he still manages to win.... how dumb....

I know there is a way to beat this stupid crap because one time i spammed the top answer all the way through and caught a glimps of him admiting defeat and saw that i had lost gold... but didn't see what i had gained from beating him... im trying again to beat him but finding it impossible to beat this idiotic game....

can anyone explain how this game works or what the answer is to it?

i'd also like to thank the game creators for implimenting this stupid mini game :S

pure fustrastion.
