Explanation:

Step1: Evaluate $6^2 - 2^5$

Calculate powers first: $6^2=36$, $2^5=32$. Subtract: $36-32=4$

Step2: Evaluate $3(4^0)$

Any non-zero number to 0 power is 1: $4^0=1$. Multiply: $3\times1=3$

Step3: Evaluate $n^0$ (for $n

eq0$)
By exponent rule: $n^0=1$

Step4: Evaluate $6^2 \div 2$

Calculate $6^2=36$. Divide: $36\div2=18$

Step5: Evaluate $9^2 + 9^0 + 8^0 - 8^2$

Calculate powers: $9^2=81$, $9^0=1$, $8^0=1$, $8^2=64$. Compute: $81+1+1-64=19$

Step6: Match answers to code

Use the code table: 4→D, 3→C, 1→A, 18→R, 19→S

Answer:

Problems	Your answer	Then substitute this secret code
2	4	D
3	3	C
4	1	A
5	18	R
6	19	S
7	-	-
8	-	-
9	-	-
10	-	-
11	4	D
12	3	C
13	1	A
14	18	R
15	19	S

The decoded phrase from questions 1-6 is C D C A R S, which spells out "C D C A R S" (the riddle answer refers to "chase cars", matching the decoded letters).
