The Testament of Sherlock Holmes Hints
What am I supposed to do with these eight paper scraps?
1 of 9: Rearrange them to form the secret message.
2 of 9: NOTE: If you were careful to get the paper scraps while scanning the paper in left-to-right, top-to-bottom order, the message will already be properly arranged, and this step will be skipped.
3 of 9: To change the scraps' order, pick one up, then click it on the one that you want to switch it with.
4 of 9: You're trying to form an address here.
5 of 9: It's apparently something on the south bank (of the Thames, no doubt), so "south" and "bank" will be the last two scraps in the correct order.
6 of 9: One of the other words is "Wharf," and those are usually numbered, so "Stinging" and "Street" are left to go together.
7 of 9: As for the wharf number, do you remember what order the numbers were in on the paper?
8 of 9: The 3 was leftmost, followed by the 2, and then the 1.
9 of 9: So the secret address is: Stinging Street, Wharf 321, Southbank.
