Elementary!
For you fans of Sherlock Holmes out there, here is a set
of suitably obscure questions for you:
(a) What was the last published Sherlock Holmes short story,
and what year was it published?
(b) What was the original and final title of the first published
Sherlock Holmes story?
(c) What other famous detective is reputed to be the illegitimate
son of Sherlock Holmes.
(d) In which story did Watson find himself a wife?
(e) Which organization did John Spaulding found?
(f) Where was the Blue Carbuncle found?
(g) Name "The Woman" and the story in which she appeared.
(h) What is the name of the London club that Holmes' older
brother frequents.
(i) What did the Bruce-Parlington plans describe?
(j) Who sent the Five Orange Pips?
(k) Name Colonel Moran's boss.
(l) Where did Holmes keep his supply of tobacco?
(m) Who was the real villian in "The Sussex Vampire"?
(n) What was the name of the place at which Holmes and Moriarty
had their final encounter?
Of course, it is expected that these be answered without
reference to any books, i.e. entirely from memory.
Answers will be posted in a week or so.
