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
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 [...]
Good morning, pupils.
I’m sure you didn’t read carefully my article. Study it!. Some of you are a little bit confused.
Here it is the solution. The two letters left are: B A
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 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, [...]
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 [...]
Good morning pupils.
This is Holmes. Doctor Watson is always telling histories about me. Probably I don’t deserve so much attention, though my remarkable services have became notorious. Today, I’m going to propose a simple puzzle. It only requires a little bit of wit and, in addition, the main character is Doctor Watson.
Doctor Watson was telling [...]
Good afternoon my dear friends.
Here it is the solution, some of you found it. Perhaps I recommend you to Holmes as assistants in some case. Well I am forgetting the importan thing.
Dick Powers was 68 years old at his death. Why? Because when his youngest child was born Mr Powers was 34 and his oldest child was [...]
Good afternoon, my dear friends.
I was very pleased with your comments. Holmes thinks the anterior puzzle was elemental and you need a new exciting challenge. So here it is a little problem.
Sherlock Holmes glanced up from his evening newspaper.
“Dick Powers, the gang leader who was responsible for all that touble down at the docks, has [...]
Hello again, dear pupils.
Here it is the solution to The Surnames puzzle. Your hypothesis were partially right or wrong, depending on the point of view. The profession of detective is really demanding. You have to improve your logic skills. Don’tforgot it;next time pay attention to the distracting clues. If two cousins are two sister’s sons then the [...]
