Sherlock Holmes: Silver Earring Hints
Working the End Day Quiz
The Quiz section at the end of each day is supposed to help you organize everything you've learned so far.
You'll be presented with a group of questions for a Yes or No answer. But, you must also figure out WHY you came to that conclusion.
You'll be re-reading all of the things you've learned and recorded so far to justify your answers. To review a selected conversation or topic, click on Notes underneath the Quiz window.
The color of the frame(s) underneath the question indicates the type of selection expected.
Blue -- Conversation Log
Green -- Document Log
Red -- Evidence Log
To select a justification, click on it. Then click on the matching colored frame on the opposite page (underneath the question). (Note: Since the inventory is open, you can read documents you have not read yet while working the Quiz. You may have to open and close the documents window for them to appear there afterwards.)
To move to the next Quiz question, click on the bottom arrow.
When you have every question answered and justified, click on the Journal book to exit the Quiz.
If you do everything right, the game will move you to the next day automatically. If you didn't, click on the Journal to work on the Quiz some more. (Everything will be exactly as you left it.)
