Join the famous detective Sherlock Holmes and his trusty colleague, Doctor Watson, in the many problems, dilemmas, and mysteries they encounter while trying to apprehend the infamous Professor Moriarty and other fiendish felons.
Uncover plots, reveal murderers, unmask liars and recover stolen goods, as you complete these lively logic puzzles, codes, anagrams, number puzzles, and of course, who dunits.
Use your deductive powers to right wrongs and prevent crimes, while you deal with the esteemed Inspector Lestrade of Scotland Yard, Mrs. Hudson, Holmes’ household manager, and all the other characters you’ll encounter in and around 221B Baker Street.
While working on a case Holmes receives vital information from a mysterious source in the form of a note.
The note reads: Go to the Dunwick Bank. Inside each of the safety deposit boxes listed below you will find a clue to the crime you are presently investigating.
BOX NUMBERS : 20, 80, 76, 19, 23, 92, 88 and ?
I have omitted to tell you the number of the last box, but I'm sure a great detective such as yourself will know where to look.
Holmes read the note then passed it to Doctor Watson.
"Most inconvenient," muttered Watson." Now we'll have to open every single safety deposit box to find the last clue."
"Not so, Watson." replied Holmes." I know exactly which box to open. Come along Watson, let's hurry to the Dunwick Bank."
What was the number of the last safety deposit box?
Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson were travelling on the London to Brighton train. They shared a compartment with four other gentlemen. Messrs: ANDREWS, BAKER, CLARK and DAVIS. The four obviously knew each other well and chatted all the way to Brighton. Their occupations were:
STOCK BROKER; BANKER, SHOP OWNER and SOLICITOR (Although not necessarily in that order). From the following information gathered by Holmes can you determine the occupation of each man?
1. Mr Andrews had never played golf.
2. Mr Davis isn't the banker.
3. Mr Clark bought his last set of golf clubs from the stockbroker.
4. Mr Andrews was very friendly with the bank manager.
5. The shop owner and Mr Baker often played golf with the stockbroker.
