Solution explanation to puzzle answern Comment 36 of 36 |
(In reply to answer by K Sengupta)

We disregard the equality(=) sign,

We replace a letter with a digit, when the said digit bears a strong resemblance to the letter.
Off the hat, we can replace 0 with O, 1 with I, 3 with E (almost inverted form of 3), 5 with S and 6 with G to obtain:
G4M
ER
IS4___DP
ER
SON
Knowing that puzzle author's name is GAMER, we immediately have 4-> A
So, the form of the  secret message is now:
GAMERISA___DPERSON.
Allowing for spaces, this becomes:
GAMER IS A ___D PERSON.
Every member knows the the puzzle author (GAMER) is a good person.
Accordingly,  filling in "GOO" for ___, we must have the secret message as:
GAMER IS A GOOD PERSON.
