Riddle

I'm usually quite good with riddles but I was set one by a riddler between Troskowitz and Semine that I just didn't have a clue about.
It goes something like (I'll probably misquote the vital part of course):

A foolish farmer with no family divided up all the groschen he made with his animals according to their merits,
the hens in the coop got 5Gr, the bees in the hive got 15Gr and the spider in the loft got 20Gr , but what did the cat get? and then different amounts of Groschen.

Any clues? Am I just stupid?

It's not easy but not complicated either. It is about animal legs.
If hen gets 5 coins, the cat will get 10. ;)

Aaaargh!

I should have got that, what a dunce!

Normally with a riddle there's some indication in the setup as to why the answer is what it is - in the case of this riddle the answer is 10g - as in, the player is suppose to connect the number of animal legs with a value of groschen. As in, g per leg. It's too arbitrary for most players to detect the pattern, and myself I didn't understand it until my second play-through and just guessed 10 on a whim, so the Riddler explained it afterwards.

Lemme say it's hardest of the three I had in the first playthrough.
I don't know if there are more, met the riddler only 3 times during my time.
Note that he appears on both maps, but I just didn't fastrun many times, most of the time I was running on foot. 😂

I deduced that it was 10, but my only options are 5, 3, 1 or 25 groschen, and "can you repeat the riddle ?"
Any idea why ?
