Yeah, when I got home from rehearsal late last night and read our comics, J had already gleefully worked the puzzle and pencilled in the answer, and on the whole I found that satisfied me rather better than decoding it myself would have. :-)
(The only bit he couldn't work out in his head immediately on sight was X, and he left that one for last so he could get it by process of elimination instead of bothering to do the long division.)
X wasn't actually that hard if you work with computers a lot, since '512' is 2^9 and 8192 is 2^9 x 2^4. 8192+1024=9216, which reduces to 512x16 +512x2, or 512x18...
