I say demon but it's actually a devil, most likely, since we are in Gehenna. That makes this whole trial even more interesting because devils are masters of tricky contracts with rules that they both respect and sneak around.

So I would send back to you what you said to OP: If you don't want to cheat the demon and play exactly by its rules, just take one of the paths as he says you should. Nobody forces you to outwit the demon.
