Spoilers obviously. Did anyone else take the time to figure it out? Not exactly rocket surgery but kind of fun, a bit of an ‘80s vibe to it.

Every post I make, it should be assumed by the reader that the following statement is attached: "It's all subjective. What works for me doesn't necessarily work for you, and vice versa, and that's ok. You may have a different opinion on it, but this is mine. That's the wonderful thing about being a comics fan, it's all subjective."
Well, I guess we are the only people who read this and bothered to solve it. But yeah, I like it when Riddler stories feature actual puzzles in the text. It also reminds me of The Brave and the Bold in the early-mid '80s when they would give some hint of the following month's team-up, eg one issue had The Creeper's shadow cast on a wall. I think one of the letters columns provided a full list of the clues from each issue.
I thought it was really cool. It reminded me of some Batman comics I've read where we, as readers, are asked what the answer is to a certain case Batman already figured out. Sure, this one was easy, but still fun

I just read it, and have absolutely NO clue as to the answer. How about a hint, crime-stoppers?
In the meantime, I think I’ll go back to my old “Encyclopedia Brown” books.

U KANT PLAY ---- and then the part with the cameras is of course ALDEN, but what's the middle part? I'm struggling to fit ROOK or KNIGHT in there.
There was also, kind of stealthily, a lot of stuff added to Riddler's background in this story. Apparently he used to write plays, and at some point he had a wife? Seems like pretty big things to throw out there just to make a 10 page story work, but they'll probably be ignored in the future. Or picked up and elaborated on, but I doubt it.
