Math worksheet with addition and subtraction problems to solve a penguin-themed riddle.

Let's solve this step by step.

We are given a set of math problems (addition and subtraction) labeled from a to w. After solving each problem, we will use the answers to decode a riddle: "What do penguins eat for lunch?"

At the bottom, there is a code:

```
119 23 65 4 65 62 86 65 62 124
```

This seems to be a list of numbers that correspond to letters. But since it’s only 10 numbers and we have 23 problems (a to w), we need to figure out how this works.

Wait — actually, looking at the layout, the code might be used like this:

Each answer to a problem corresponds to a letter. The riddle has blanks, and we match the answers to the numbers in the code.

But here's a better idea: perhaps the answers to the problems are used to find the correct letters based on the code below.

Let’s first solve all the problems.

Step 1: Solve Each Problem

#### a. 85 - 59
85 - 59 = 26

#### b. 31 - 27
31 - 27 = 4

#### c. 90 - 67
90 - 67 = 23

#### d. 82 - 54
82 - 54 = 28

#### e. 89 - 24
89 - 24 = 65

#### f. 97 + 78
97 + 78 = 175

#### g. 28 + 58
28 + 58 = 86

#### h. 69 + 66
69 + 66 = 135

#### i. 65 + 54
65 + 54 = 119

#### j. 32 + 47
32 + 47 = 79

#### k. 78 - 59
78 - 59 = 19

#### m. 50 - 41
50 - 41 = 9

#### n. 77 - 35
77 - 35 = 42

#### o. 85 - 46
85 - 46 = 39

#### r. 99 - 37
99 - 37 = 62

#### s. 35 + 89
35 + 89 = 124

#### t. 35 + 38
35 + 38 = 73

#### u. 69 + 69
69 + 69 = 138

#### v. 48 + 24
48 + 24 = 72

#### w. 27 + 47
27 + 47 = 74

Now let's collect the results:

| Letter | Answer |
|--------|--------|
| a | 26 |
| b | 4 |
| c | 23 |
| d | 28 |
| e | 65 |
| f | 175 |
| g | 86 |
| h | 135 |
| i | 119 |
| j | 79 |
| k | 19 |
| m | 9 |
| n | 42 |
| o | 39 |
| r | 62 |
| s | 124 |
| t | 73 |
| u | 138 |
| v | 72 |
| w | 74 |

Now look at the code at the bottom:

> 119 23 65 4 65 62 86 65 62 124

That’s 10 numbers.

Let’s see if these numbers appear in our answers.

- 119 → i (from problem i)
- 23 → c
- 65 → e
- 4 → b
- 65 → e
- 62 → r
- 86 → g
- 65 → e
- 62 → r
- 124 → s

So the sequence of answers matching the code is:

119 → i
23 → c
65 → e
4 → b
65 → e
62 → r
86 → g
65 → e
62 → r
124 → s

So the word formed is: i c e b e r g e r s

Wait — that’s not right.

But “icebergs”?

Wait: Let's spell it:

i-c-e-b-e-r-g-e-r-s → "icebergers"? That doesn’t make sense.

Wait — maybe it's just "icebergs"?

But we have 10 letters.

Wait — could it be:

i (119), c (23), e (65), b (4), e (65), r (62), g (86), e (65), r (62), s (124)

So: i c e b e r g e r s

But that’s “icebergers” — which isn't a real word.

Wait — maybe the code is not using the answer, but the letter corresponding to the answer?

Alternatively, maybe the answers are used as codes, and the code at the bottom maps numbers to letters.

Wait — perhaps the numbers in the code represent the answers to the problems, and we need to match them to the letters.

But the code is:

119, 23, 65, 4, 65, 62, 86, 65, 62, 124

And these numbers are also answers to some problems.

From earlier:

- 119 → i (problem i)
- 23 → c (problem c)
- 65 → e (problem e)
- 4 → b (problem b)
- 65 → e (again)
- 62 → r (problem r)
- 86 → g (problem g)
- 65 → e
- 62 → r
- 124 → s (problem s)

So the sequence is:

i, c, e, b, e, r, g, e, r, s

So the phrase is: i c e b e r g e r s

But that’s “icebergers” — not meaningful.

Wait — unless it's "icebergs"? But we have 10 numbers, so 10 letters.

Wait — maybe the code is meant to be read as:

119 → i
23 → c
65 → e
4 → b
65 → e
62 → r
86 → g
65 → e
62 → r
124 → s

So: i c e b e r g e r s

But that’s "icebergers", which is not a standard word.

Wait — perhaps it's a pun?

Wait — what do penguins eat?

Penguins eat fish, squid, krill — but the joke might be something like "fish", or "icebergs"?

But “icebergs” aren’t food.

Wait — maybe it’s a play on words.

Wait — perhaps the answers are used to fill in the blanks in the riddle, and the code helps map the numbers to letters.

But we don’t have a cipher table.

Wait — maybe the numbers in the code are answers, and we must find which problems give those answers, then take the letter labels of those problems.

Ah! That makes sense!

So the code is:

119, 23, 65, 4, 65, 62, 86, 65, 62, 124

We need to find which problem has that answer, then use the letter label of that problem.

Let’s go through each number:

- 119 → which problem has answer 119? → i (65+54=119) → letter: i
- 23 → c (90-67=23) → c
- 65 → e (89-24=65) → e
- 4 → b (31-27=4) → b
- 65 → again → e
- 62 → r (99-37=62) → r
- 86 → g (28+58=86) → g
- 65 → e
- 62 → r
- 124 → s (35+89=124) → s

So the letters are:

i, c, e, b, e, r, g, e, r, s

So: i c e b e r g e r s

But that’s “icebergers” — still odd.

Wait — maybe it’s “icebergs”, but with extra letters?

Wait — no, 10 letters.

Wait — maybe it’s “I C E B E R G E R S” → “Icebergers”? That sounds like a play on “iceberg” and “burgers”.

Ah! That’s it!

Penguins eat icebergs for lunch? No — but "icebergers" is a pun on "icebergs" and "burgers".

But wait — maybe it’s "fish"?

No.

Wait — perhaps the answer is "fish", but the code gives us "icebergers".

Wait — another idea: maybe the code is not the answer, but the answers are used to find the letters, and the code is the sequence of answers that form the riddle.

But we have:

Code: 119, 23, 65, 4, 65, 62, 86, 65, 62, 124

We matched them to:

i, c, e, b, e, r, g, e, r, s → "icebergers"

But perhaps the riddle is:

"What do penguins eat for lunch?"

Answer: "Icebergers!" — a pun on "icebergs" and "burgers".

Yes — that’s a common joke.

So the punchline is: "Icebergers!"

Because penguins live on icebergs, and they eat fish, but the joke is that they eat "icebergers" — like hamburgers made of ice?

Or a play on words: "ice bergers" → "ice burgers"?

Yes — that’s it.

So the solution is:

The answers to the problems are used to decode the code at the bottom.

Each number in the code corresponds to an answer from one of the problems.

We find which problem has that answer, then take its letter label.

So:

- 119 → problem i → i
- 23 → problem c → c
- 65 → problem e → e
- 4 → problem b → b
- 65 → e
- 62 → r
- 86 → g
- 65 → e
- 62 → r
- 124 → s

So the word is: i c e b e r g e r s

Which reads: Icebergers

Thus, the riddle answer is: "Icebergers!"

It’s a pun on "icebergs" and "burgers", implying that penguins eat "ice burgers".

Final Answer:

Penguins eat Icebergers for lunch!

✔ Solution: The decoded message from the code is "Icebergers", which is a pun meaning "ice burgers".
