recapping the stone
Update: I’m stuck on puzzle 5 now. Anybody? Anybody?

Is anybody else hooked on Antiriddle? I started playing it last night, and it is very fun, but very vexing. I’m stuck on the third puzzle right now. If anybody wants to engage in a conversation of gentle hints (not spoilers), let me know.
The weekend was pretty fun. Denny got sunburned at a mediocre football game on Saturday, then we went to two different family parties on Sunday. The first one was a 50th anniversary party for DC’s aunt and uncle. The invitation to it indicated that it was for “Mr. and Mrs. John [Denny’s mom’s maiden name].” In the world of normal people, that would indicate that the party would mostly be attended by Denny’s mom’s side of the family.
But no. Nothing is ever simple with that group.
Denny’s mom and dad are both from big families from the same small town, so apparently it happened more than once that someone from family A married family B. That means that last names tell you nothing about the attendance at any given event. This gathering happened to be on Denny’s dad’s side, though you never would have known it without thorough research. I told Denny that maybe by our 50th anniversary, I’ll have his family sorted out. I wish they’d all wear nametags with simple family trees on them.
Later that night, we went to a party my parents threw. No one was related to anyone, outside of immediate families, as far as I can tell.
We had good Thai food with my parents on Monday and dinked around in an antique shop downtown. Denny’s favorite thing was Hopalong Cassidy underpants.
Your parents really know how to put on a great party. Thanks Gary and Beth for the hospitality. Aprille, don’t feel bad about understanding the family tree. I thought Big Denny had only two brothers before I found out that in fact he had the same # of siblings as myself. Also, I can’t imagine the size of the name tag we would all have to wear to include all the group. It would almost have to be the size of a giant Redwood. But I will tell you there is hardly a dull moment with all the opportunity for major drama in a group this size and we’re delighted to be able to put you on the branch next to Denny. It makes my heart smile!!!
I am past antiriddle 5 (stuck on 6 actually)
Email me if you want a hint on #5 still.
I personally am also doing Antiriddle. Email me if you want a hint about almost any of the levels that are up (right now I’m stuck on level 28).
Family Trees are very interesting to know specially if you have a large extended family *
we always keep track of our family tree because it is exciting to know the family tree `*.
