But this is fun, anyone who really knows should chime in:
Amended Deutsch:
Ein Gegenbespiel hat der Wert ein Tausend Bespielen.
Original (with typos corrected)
Ein Gegenbeispiel hat den Wert eines Tausend Beispielen.
My thought was that "Wert" is a masculine accusative object and
therefore the article becomes "den" and
Tausend Beispielen should be the genitive and IIRC (which I may not)
that means ein -> eines, however, Beispielen is plural so perphaps its
eine -> eine???
So perhaps, in my 2-year-old Deutsch
Ein Gegenbeispiel hat den Wert eine Tausend Beispielen.
