Detailed Description
When they get to lunch on Sunday, there's a whiteboard with the school lunch menu, written in several colors and covering all weekdays, weekends, a special, and beverage. It also says that Doris will give a prize to anyone who figures out what the Mystery Meat really is.
Puzzle Answer
ROADKILL
Puzzle Solution
Each item on the menu includes one of the "fruits" in Ms. Pac-Man. Those fruits are, in order of appearance in the game:
1. Cherries
2. Strawberry
3. Peach
4. Pretzel (yes, this counts as a "fruit"
5. Apple
6. Pear
7. Banana
The titles (Monday, Tuesday, Weekends, Liquids, etc.) are written in the colors of the rainbow. Taking the menu items in ROYGBIV order and indexing the "fruit number" into the title gives the answer: ROADKILL.
| Menu item | Menu title | Color | Fruit index | Letter |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sloppy Joes... (pretzel) | Thursday | Red | 4 | R |
| Mac & cheese... (strawberry) | Monday | Orange | 2 | O |
| Tacos & beans... (pear) | Tuesday | Yellow | 6 | A |
| Cheese pizza... (banana) | Wednesday | Green | 7 | D |
| Assorted sandwiches... (pretzel) | Weekends | Blue | 4 | K |
| Fish sticks... (peach) | Friday | Indigo | 3 | I |
| Mystery Meat... (apple) | PMHS Lunch Special | Violet | 5 | L |
| Cherry Coke... (cherries) | Liquids | Violet | 1 | L |
