Sherlock Holmes: The Awakened Hints
What's the answer to the quiz that I get upon returning to Arneson's house?
1 of 11: Who do you think could have Arneson's signet ring?
2 of 11: If the ring-holder is on the estate, he's clearly not a person, since all the people around here are dead or gone.
3 of 11: You'll remember that Lucy said Arneson wore his signet ring on his right hand.
4 of 11: But do you remember what happened to Arneson's right hand according to certain deductions Holmes made based on what you found on the garden path?
5 of 11: He said Arneson's right hand must have been cut completely off. (Refer to the "Fight in Arneson's Garden" report.)
6 of 11: Maybe the abductor didn't bother to pocket the hand or the ring. It could still be on the grounds somewhere!
7 of 11: Since it wasn't where the be-handing exercise took place, some animal must have made off with it.
8 of 11: What local critter would do such a thing?
9 of 11: Remember that you've seen a raccoon hanging around near the back porch. Also, refer to the "Fauna and Flora of Louisiana, page 54" document.
10 of 11: There's your answer! The raccoon has the ring, so type in RACCOON.
11 of 11: If that doesn't work, try the alternate spelling of RACOON.
