Well, I got tired of the joke.
Anti-Monopoly is Monopoly's darker brother. The version we played is also played on a monopoly board, with the following differences:
-At the beginning of the game, players decide whether they are monopolists or competition.
-Monopolists are allowed to ask double rent for all property in cities where they have more than one street.
-Competition is allowed to build on any street they buy. Monopolists need a monopoly (2 streets in a city or more)
-Instead of the Inland Revenue and Chance cards, on these spaces you roll dice and act accordingly.
-In prison, competition is allowed to charge rent, monopolists aren't.
-The Free Parking space is a place where a competitor may win a small amount of money, and where a monopolist will always lose a lot of money.
-Rolling double means you get to go again, but you're only allowed two turns in a row. If you throw double again, it is still your last turn. This
means you will spend a lot less time in prison, making the "orange" streets less desirable and the green ones more desirable.
As competition your main job is to prevent monopolists from getting a monopoly. Since my sister (monopolist) had 3 out of four train stations early in
the game competition Dad and I couldn't nearly make enough revenue to compensate for the amount of money we would invariably lose when we land on a
station.
The building of houses if you only have one street seems fun, but ingame the house prices are 10 times higher than the rent, so they're not usually
worth the investment (save for the streets you can get on through the dice rolling spaces).

You can find it over here:
https://www.aivd.nl/onderwerpen/aivd-kerstpuzzel , click the top link under the header "Opgaveformulier downloaden".
Don't worry about not speaking any Dutch, it actually will help with some of the questions! Question 2 should be doable without any knowledge of Dutch
(the accompanying text reads "it's of all ages but not always as extreme"). I would like to recommend against finding the answer to 2e though. 
So far I have solved questions 1a, 2 and 30. I even managed to solve question 2 while listening to the FZ concert with John and Yoko and
that's not even the worst headache I had yesterday, since it was company christmas party, and I am no good with loud music or strobe lights.
On the 10th day of Zappadan
the Guardian printed a nice FZ article
https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/dec/13/fank-zappa-hot-rats-al...
And I sorted my FZ collection
Does Humor Belong In Music?
Playground Psychotics
Make A Jazz Noise Here
Now listening to YCDTOSA 6/1. I play a lot of songs on here a lot.

How's the board game? Invited the missus for a round yet? Maybe we could set up a video conference so we can play together!
I really liked how they used guitar pics as tokens.
