Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints
How can I figure out Walesby's number?
1 of 7: Notice the rubbing of a coin that's on a separate piece of paper to the right of Walesby's name.
2 of 7: That clue will help you find Walesby's number, but only if you have the coin that Bulling made the rubbing from.
3 of 7: Get the coins from Bulling's desk if you haven't already, then try the phone again.
4 of 7: Notice that four coins are now laid out to the left of the name list.
5 of 7: Examine them to see which one looks most like the rubbing.
6 of 7: The little star shapes that go around the border of the rubbing and the correct coin is the big give-away.
7 of 7: The rubbing is of the trade dollar that's dated 1875, so that must be Walesby's number.
