Answer 8 is to guess grave #10 (coming from 29) based on:
(Rationales)
Design Choices: A continuation of the story from the previous play: There is a single rose at the grave, but an X as well. The 'She walked in beauty' inscription was an indicator to her allure, but the X is intended as the main clue, and is what really sets it apart from other graves. This one is somewhat of a leap, since you might be looking further for relationship clues, but have to pull back in to the protagonist's position; in this case it is the association of the X leading to 10.
Level of success/Changes/Issues/play test reports: This is one that has me a little worried, as it is one of the few that my first set of players did not reach the intended conclusion for. They were looking for either; Ex lovers, X marks the spot, or X's in the names or visual elements (like grave 28). Roman numerals seem to be commonly used in gaming puzzles, I didn't think twice about adding it. More testing is needed.
