The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
How can I fill out the journalist deduction board?
1 of 7: The fastest way to get started is to enter Farley's office (to the right of the secretary's office) and examine the ashtray that's on his desk.
2 of 7: Click on the ashes in the tray to take them, then examine the cigar and its tip.
3 of 7: When the deduction board comes up, notice that it's quite different from the previous two. It's an overhead view of Farley's office, and has a large clickable circle on the desk to denote the ashtray.
4 of 7: Close the deduction board, then look around for other things that will add clickable circles to the board.
5 of 7: There are five more items to add. Note that looking over the deduction board will help you locate four of them, since they're marked with dark circles.
6 of 7: Once you have all five items on the deduction board, bring it up and click on each item to bring up a statement and several conclusion choices.
7 of 7: You'll need to pick the best conclusion based on what you know about the statement. See below for the answers for each location.
