BGP local-as

I am doing a task in IE labs.

The task says, far end router admin mis-configured BGP AS number, and they
can not correct it now. Find a solution to peer with their router.
And they indicate the far end configured AS, so we can put the local-as XX
to match with their config.
Now, what if, we do not know what they put there.
I keep using debug ip bgp on my end, but I can not see the info. I put on my
router wrong target AS number, wrong local-as etc. The result is that it is
hard to figure out what AS they are expecting from me.
If I go to far end and do the same debug I can see what was expected AS from
me in that router, but this does not help the case I am trying to figure
out.
Am I missing something here?
May be there is no solution to this? We must know their mistake, is that
correct?
Any thoughts?
