QUIZ BOOK “When this original intellectual deduction is confirmed point by point by quite a number of independent incidents, then the subjective becomes objective and we can say confidently that we have reached our goal.” Sherlock Holmes QUIZ BOOK Volume I “If Iclaim full justice for my art, itis because it isan impersonal thing — a thing beyond myself. Crime is common. Logic is rare. Therefore it is upon the logic rather than upon the crime that you should dwell.” Sherlock Holmes ntroduction how that you have rachel sluon, tam the Qui fr te appropiate ce ‘The Guiz is divided into two parts. Part One covers the essential questions raised in the ‘case. Each question has a point value attached to it, which can be found in parentheses after the answer. Part Two contains bonus questions which may relate to the case or which may, in some instances, depend upon ageneral knowledge of the Canon of Holmes stories. After you have answered the quiz questions, follow these steps: 1, Turn to the Quiz Answers section of the Quiz Book and correct your quiz. 2, Total your point score. The point value for each correctly answered ques- tion will be found in parentheses after the answer in the Quiz Book. 3. Turn to the Solution Section of the Case Book and read Holmes’ analysis of the appropriate case. After reading Holmes’ narration, you may turn back to the answer section of the Quiz Book to see the specific clue points that Holmes used to solve the case. These points are listed at the beginning of the appropriate answer section. 4. Compare your game turn score with that of Holmes and arrive at a net ‘game turn scare by taking the difference between the two. For example, if i took Holmes 10 game turns to solve the case and you took 12, then your net game score would be -2. If, on the other hand, you beat Holmes and solved the case in 8 turns, then your net game score would be +2. 5, Multiply your net game turn score by 5. The resulting product is used 10 adjust your total score, For example, your quiz score is 85 and your net {game turn score is 2; then -10 (5x -2) combined with 85 gives you a game total of 7. Holmes’ score will always equal 100 points. You can try to better your score by answer- ing the bonus questions in Part Two of the quiz. Your final quiz score will be the otal of your points for both quiz parts adjusted by your net game turn score. ‘I is one of those instances where the reasoner ‘can produce an effect which seems remarkable 10 his neighbour, because the latter has missed one little point which is the basis of the deduction.” Sherlock Holmes QUIZ SECTION Quiz: Case One Part One Part Two Who killed Courtney Allen? 1.
