Sherlock Holmes: Silver Earring Hints

Analyzing the Evidence

Click on Holmes' desk on the very right of the screen to zoom in on his work area.

Pick up an inventory item. Holmes will tell you what he wants to do with it. Put it back in inventory as you prepare everything. Then pick it up again to finish the experiment.

This "puzzle" was made quite a bit harder than it could have been -- because things must be done in a specific order. At least you will know when you're finished with something because it will disappear from inventory (the report going to the Journal).

Be sure and read the results in the Journal after each experiment.
