Answer: The Riddler's

The episode began with many people attending Madame Soleil's wax museum since she was about to reveal her newest addition to the museum, Batman's wax figure. When she turned up the curtain, however, the figure that they saw was The Riddler's. With the wax figure was a recording of two riddles.

Answer: Library

On the recording, The Riddler left two riddles and the second one asked, "What has branches and leaves but no bark?" The answer to that riddle was a library. This led to Batman and Robin heading to the Gotham City library to see if The Riddler planned to make a move there.

Answer: Geography

Alfred picked up the Batphone and he immediately proceeded to the living room where Bruce was helping Dick out with his geography lesson. Dick mentioned that he always thought that the city of Lima was the capital of Ecuador. Bruce showed him on the globe that Lima was in the country of Peru.

Answer: True

At the first scene at The Riddler's hideout, he spoke with one of his cohorts, Moth, about the importance of the substance which he had at his disposal. He told her that this particular substance could eat through anything and therefore was banned by the United States government.

The Riddler surmised that this was likely due to the fact that the authorities worried over who could possibly get their hands on that dangerous substance.

Answer: The Incans

The Riddler's main objective in this episode was locating the treasure of the Incan people since it was worth millions. He and his cohorts went to the library early on in the episode to locate a book which would help him find it. The Riddler got very excited once he discovered the book on one of the shelves.

Answer: Wax spray

Batman and Robin came upon The Riddler and his cohorts at the library and did battle with them. In the middle of the battle, The Riddler got out his wax spray and used it to spray on Batman and Robin's feet. This caused them to be stuck to the ground. The Riddler accidentally set off the alarm so he and his gang immediately fled the library.

Answer: Revolutionary War

Batman and Robin realized that they needed to go back to Madame Soleil's wax museum to look for more clues regarding The Riddler's latest scheme. They passed an exhibit depicting The Revolutionary War and were knocked out by darts. It turns out that The Riddler and his cohorts had donned Revolutionary War costumes to disguise themselves within that exhibit.

Answer: True

After knocking the Dynamic Duo unconscious, The Riddler and his men tied them up and then loaded them into their van. They drove them back to their hideout. In the final scene, The Riddler tied up Batman and Robin above a vat of hot wax and pressed a lever to slowly suspend them into it.
