Shortly after capturing our super hero friends, the Riddler himself was captured and was sent back to Arkham. While in the asylum he was questioned for days regarding the whereabouts of Batman and the others. Regardless of how many times he was asked, he would only respond in riddles. The doctors and orderlies tried but could not decipher his clues! (Of course this is the same faculty that allows a villian to escape almost hourly...) Perhaps you can solve the riddles and save the Dark Knight and his comrades!
This is a fairly simple puzzle. Solve the riddles then count the amount of letters in the answer and do the simple equation. (All the answers are a single word) Of course you can google the answers, but what's the fun in that? None of these are too difficult.
Growing up I loved these types of riddles. Our heroes are trapped in an ammo box that is stuffed. And since the Riddler is a villian...he didn't include a pen. So bring one! (Yes I forgot to put one in the cache)
