Can you determine the titles to this turvy?
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 the GAMES editors and published in Games Magazine in December 1985.
To determine the titles to this turvy, determine the measures of the ten angles in the first diagram and locate the answer from those listed from A to J. Then determine the answers to the fourteen angles in the second diagram and match them up with the answers from K to Z. Then replace each numbered blank in the puzzle with the letter corresponding to the answer for that problem.
