I know the answer to the riddle, having solved it in the MDL version. That version has instructions telling you to type answer "a foo" (substitute the correct answer for "foo") to answer the riddle. But the fortran version ("zork" as opposed to "dungeon") has no instructions and all the variations I tried didn't work. What is the proper syntax to get past it?
