why does the British spelling make a difference?
Took a couple of minutes but I got it. Fun puzzle!
The British spelling makes a difference because then 14 would become 15 and 15 would become 14 in the riddle.
I know that, but why is the British spelling important?
I guess it's just to make it obscure, something like that. I just added it in there for fun.
