Yeah, it makes you want to swear. The third riddle definitely contains errors.

3) You need to approach the third gatekeeper with an army consisting of:
2 devils; 2 bone dragons; 1 golem; 5 angels.
The riddle text:

It is known that devils fight better if the number of bone dragons exceeds the number of golems, and golems become more ferocious if there are fewer of them than devils. At the same time, angels refuse to fight if there are fewer of them than devils and bone dragons combined.
Okay, let's take one golem, --> let's take two devils (although, depending on how you interpret the phrase "become more ferocious" - personally, I understood it as something negative). There should be more bone dragons than golems, so let's take two. Then they write that "if there are fewer of them [angels] than devils and bone dragons," which means there should be 4 angels, and not 5, because "fewer" means greater than or equal to, but definitely not more.
