The answer/instructions were included at the bottom of the email (To see the answer highlight from one asterisk to the other below and change the font color if necessary.)

*Today is Hedgehog Day!

Long before the advent of Groundhog Day on February 2nd, the Romans observed a similar event thousands of years ago on the exact same day. Rather than use the North American groundhog, the Romans used the hedgehog. The only difference between this ancient event and the present day version (aside from the hedgehog, of course) is the fact that the Romans would look to see if the hedgehog saw its shadow under a clear moon at night. Here in North America, where we have no indigenous species of hedgehog, we replaced the hedgehog with the native groundhog and to this day “Punxsutawney Phil” and “Wiarton Willie” battle it out to see who is the better weather forecaster.*
