Sherlock Holmes vs. Jack the Ripper Hints
How do I get the whole age range thing set?
1 of 8: Notice the "tolerance of years" ranges given along the bottom of the screen. You're going to use that to generate a set of age ranges for each mannequin.
2 of 8: Look at the three ranges given under the first mannequin, and notice that the top one has already been done for you.
3 of 8: It starts with 25, and ends with 35, so it's obviously the plus-or-minus 5 range.
4 of 8: The tolerance says 3 to 5, so do the 3 and 4 next.
5 of 8: Since the 5 is on top, do the 4 in the middle, and the 3 down below it.
6 of 8: That'll give the numbers 26 and 34 on the middle range, and 27 and 33 on the lower one. (Note that when you get a range set right, it'll turn green and non-interactive.)
7 of 8: The other two mannequins' ranges work the same, except that you have three ranges to do (7, 8, and 9 -- 10 is done for you) on each one.
8 of 8: See below for the age range answers for those two mannequins.
