Don't worry. I'm quite aware how much it is, if a ball park estimate. A million could only be easy to spend because of house and vehicle prices, but a billion would be near impossible for a lone person unless they bought quite the eccentric things. To have several billion, it's a wonder he lived that long.
It's a rare riddle that's at face value. It wouldn't be a riddle otherwise. [Reaches over to take the book and paper, checking over the wording.] It'll take some time to figure out and I'll probably need to know more about the situation before I can fully figure it out. [There was definitely a silent 'this will be fun' in there. The expression he had now was probably the most childlike glee anyone was going to see on his face sincerely on the island.]
