What is the intended correct calibration value for the following line?:

five3onelxjninenine45

Reading the instructions strictly the answer should be 35.

However, puzzle makers often try to be "clever" by creating intentionally poor instructions. Which makes me think they might want the answer to be 55.

This should be just 35, you can ignore the words that are numbers
