alternative answer in verbal anology game

Asked by calinda

The Question "Given the relationship between the two words below, which word has the same relationship to 'banana'?

Words: box / open

the only correct answer is 'peel'. Nevertheless, 'open' can be a verb as well as an adjective, so 'peeled' should be a possible answer, too...

Who is the right place to adress this?

Thx, Josy

Apologies for the crappy syntax... Concentration is falling apart...

I hope the point has been made clear anyway.

Okay, I'll try verbouse mode. ;-)

I'm using Ubuntu gbrainy, and wherever I look (e.g.debian package tracking system http://packages.qa.debian.org/g/gbrainy.html ) I am pointed back to this launchpad section for reporting bugs related to Ubuntu gbrainy...

I took a look at http://live.gnome.org/action/show/gbrainy/Extending?action=show&redirect=gbrainy/Analogies but didn't get how to fix existing puzzles in the verbal anology game or how to report faulty once except by joining this google group
http://groups.google.com/group/gbrainy

So if anyone could hint me on where to best report this (in my opinion) faulty puzzle, please go ahead. ;-)
The puzzle:

Question asked by gbrainy:

" Given the relationship between the two words below, which word has the same relationship to 'banana'?

Words: box / open"

The only accepted answer to this question is 'peel'. In my opinion, 'peeled' should be added as a possible answer, as 'open' can be read either as an adjective or as a verb in the given context.

It sounds like a bug to me. :)

The best way to report bugs for gbrainy would probably be on Bugzilla, which requires an account with Bugzilla.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/enter_bug.cgi?product=gbrainy

But you could also report the bug on Launchpad.
