Dear friends,
I think I can name you this way. This year has been hard but we learnt a lot. I learnt from you some ingenuity , to look at the world with new eyes; you gave affection which is energy, warm and illusion. I am very proud of you. You overtaken your complexes, your lazy attitude, your [...]
Good afternoon, my dear friends.
If you want to solve this kind of matters you must think different. Holmes found this solution:
Holmes and his Lordship’s staff placed two large blocks of ice on the pedestal. The statue was set down on the blocks and the slings were removed. When the ice melted, the statue sat squarely [...]
My dear Eli
Your solution is possible nowadays but in Holmes’s time the Fenway wasn’t invented. Anyway, I didn’t say anything about that point so well done!!!
Now, think of other solution appropiate for the XIX century
It’s a peasure for me having such intelligent pupils
I am looking forward to hearing from you
Doctor Watson
You are just about to finish your course. Summer is around the corner, Why don’t you read something?
My suggestion is “A Scandal in Bohemia”, which illustrates perfectly how a detective’s story can be exciting and amazing without any violence.
Why “A Scandal in Bohemia”?
“A Scandal in Bohemia”was the first of Arthur Conan Doyle’s 56 Sherlock Holmes short [...]
Hello my dear candidates to Holmes’s assistant.
One of the skills you need is wit. Sometimes the solution to a problem needs an original point of view. This is an example.
Lord Fanshaw was having a statue of himself erected outside his country mansion, but a problem arose regarding the mounting of the statue on a pedestal, so [...]

Why? The answer is simple. Holmes and Professor Moriarty are enemies. B and A are the letters that complete “Baker Street”. As you know Holmes [...]
Good afternoon dear Yenni.
I am sure you can be a good assistant. You have an essential virtue persistence. Don’t give up!
Here it is your clue. The two letters left complete a name related to Holmes.
I look forward to hearing from you
Doctor Watson
Good morning, my dear pupils.
Did you read my article on cryptography? Holmes is an skilled cryptanalyst. You can demonstrate you deserve being his assistant. Solve this little whodunit.
“Ah, Watson!” exclaimed Holmes, as his colleague entered the study of 221b. “Now that you’re back, perhaps you can give me the last two letters in this sequence, [...]
One of the Holmes’s skills is cryptography. Cryptography is the science that studies how to decipher encoded messages as well as how to codify them. This is an activity as old as intelligence services. Most of the ciphers are build by mathematicians or people very skilled at mathematics.
Holmes is also a competent cryptanalyst. He relates [...]
Good morning again my dear pupils.
It is incredible!. You took too much time in giving me the right answer. Probably it is due to the terrible Maths teacher you have. It is a question of logic, concentration and a pinch of sense of humour. Definitively ask for another teacher. The meaning of the word to deserve [...]
