Bug Description

Binary package hint: gbrainy

Logical flaws in the 'words' game make it unbearable. There are 2 feet and TWENTY (20) fingers, not 10. Otherwise it should be marked out either we're speaking of the whole body or just legs (hands). And that's just one example. More options to reply needed.

Hi Vladimir,

If you're talking about the verbal analogy «feet / two | toes», I
don't see the problem with it. Hands have 10 fingers and feet have 10
toes. Finger and toe can't be used indistinctly in English, they refer
to different extremities.

> And that's just one example.
Do you remember some other problematic analogy? It's difficult to
improve them if we don't know where exactly the problems are.

I'm sorry, it actually never occurred to me. Still, it doesn't solve the problem with the Russian version. Am I able to fix it myself then? Because I could give you more examples but as far as i see, there won't be much use of it, since all of them are connected with the language specifics and, sometimes, ridiculous misspelling.
