The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
What are the correct choices for all of these?
1 of 13: Start with the top one, which is connected to the "Lack" and "Shoes" entries.
2 of 13: From the facts that the bishop's shoes are missing and that one of the murderers left wearing different shoes, we can deduce that one of the murderers left wearing the bishop's shoes.
3 of 13: Answering that brings up another "?" item about why one of the murderers left wearing the bishop's shoes.
4 of 13: The best answer to that one is that the murderers are poor.
5 of 13: Moving down to the next "?" item, you'll see that it's connected to the facts that the bishop didn't own anything of value and the veranda wasn't searched.
6 of 13: This directly implies that the murderers were looking for something specific.
7 of 13: Answering that will bring up another "?" item regarding the murderers' purpose in being there.
8 of 13: The best answer is that the bishop's murderers were hired by someone. Choosing that should turn all four of those items green.
9 of 13: Moving down to the second page, you'll see a "?" item connected to the facts that the victim was savagely tortured and was used to pain.
10 of 13: From those facts, we can conclude that the bishop resisted torture.
11 of 13: That brings up another "?" item regarding the murderers' purpose there.
12 of 13: The best conclusion is that they didn't get what they wanted. Choosing that will turn those two items green.
13 of 13: That's all you need to do for now. You won't actually complete the deduction board until later.
