Back in 1953, Roger Price invented a minor art form called the Droodle, which he described as "a borkley-looking sort of drawing
that doesn't make any sense until you know the correct title." In 1985, Games Magazine took the Droodle one step further
and created the Turvy. Turvies have one explanation right-side-up and an entirely different one turned topsy-turvy.
The Turvy above was created by Dan White of Helena, Montana and published in Games Magazine in May 1986.
To determine the titles to this turvy, solve the 18 Application of the Derivative problems in this puzzle. Then replace each numbered blank in
the puzzle with the letter corresponding to the answer for that problem.
