  1. As the three-time champion of the Riddling Derbies, I think I'll step back from next Derby and let someone else receive the Riddling Crown.

    And as the champion of this Riddling Derby, I will choose the first prize option—and the title I choose is A Letter From Smok, To Be Circulated Among His Uncles. If that's okay with you.
