Some thoughts:
We are asked 'who' but the only name we are given is Professor Plum. Therefore the answer to 'who' has to be generic, such as 'student X' or 'teacher y'. Or, the scrap of paper somehow translates to letters to spell out a name.

Damn. I thought the grid might map to the letters in the final sentences. Alas, there are 64 characters in the grid, but only 63 letters here:
Reporters and police cry out, "Who did this? Where? Why?" But most importantly, "Who?"

I've always had problems with this sentence;
Quote:
Former as in people that had taken his class before? Or people that are currently in his class and the former meaning since Plum is now dead they are his former students? Maybe the scrap of paper was test results of the students or answers to test? |

I thought that the 'who' might refer to one of the other Clue characters. I don't think we can rule them out yet. |

The oddest thing to me remains the 'why'

Yeah, a pretty disappointing result, honestly. I guess it wasn't very difficult to find that different use for the 1-and-0 data we had... but I was hoping there'd be a big "aha!' moment with this, and am now disappointed.

Same here. All the 'clues' in the original text seem pretty wuseless in retrospect, which is really disappointing...

I would be less disappointed if the answer to this riddle was, "drink more Ovaltine."
