The Science of Deduction

Greetings idiots on this website!

Allow me to introduce myself. Although you probably already know who I am, I don't need an introduction. If you do not know me I consider you illiterate. But my dear Watson, @johnhwatsonblogs, is forcing me to write this, so for everyone uneducated on this website:

I am Sherlock Holmes, the one and only consulting detective in the world. Famous for my keen deduction skills, superior intellect, and good looks. I might not be the friendliest, but I get the job done. Who cares about manners if you need to solve a murder? Solving the most baffling cases with my highly honed skills, catching the most devious criminals of all and bringing them to justice. I have dismantled whole criminal networks, recovered state secrets, saved countless lives and brought down the most devious criminal mastermind of all, to name a few of my achievements, if you haven’t been paying attention. I am not only London’s best independent criminal investigator, but according to my international reputation, the world’s best and only consulting detective. I have solved cases all over the world, no crime is too difficult or too far away for me.

I have also contributed to the world of science, publishing papers about my criminal investigation methods, including how to identify 243 types of tobacco ash. Or as I like to call it, the science of deduction. So if you are looking for a place to learn about deduction and science, you are visiting the correct blog. I might share my scientific knowledge with you, allowing you insight into my methods of deduction. So do try to keep up. When you have eliminated all which is impossible, then whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth

If you think you have a mystery that is challenging and thrilling enough to occupy me, do not hesitate to send it my way. Do you require help with a baffling case or a crime no one can solve? A mystery that seems impossible? I am your detective, then. However, be warned that I only take cases that are interesting, any boring requests will be ignored. So go on, try to intellectually engage me, if you can. Send me a mystery, a cypher, a scientific request, an intellectual challenge. Anything to occupy my mind before I set fire to the kitchen. Again. Or worse. 

I hope you are satisfied now, John.

Happy birthday, Sherlock. xx - JM

You return from the dead just to wish me a happy birthday? How thoughtful of you.

The real Moriarty died 13 years ago. Very funny, whoever you are. It's obviously fake.

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

Dear Sherlock.

Happy Birthday.

-HL

Thank you, HL. Not that many first names with H. Maybe Harry? Hamish? Humphrey? Hanna?

-SH

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

Happy birthday Sherlock

-Hunt (yes, the last name in my pseudonym, my pseudonym has the same initials as yours)

Thank you. Is that a challenge to deduce your pseudonym?

-SH

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

Happy Birthday Master Detective.

-Master Mentalist

Have I been promoted from Consulting Detective to Master Detective? Thank you, Master Mentalist. However, I prefer deduction over mentalism.

-SH

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

it’s your birthday right? happy birthday!!!

Yes, it is. Thank you.

-SH

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHERLOCK. I know it was yesterday for you, it I don’t live in London, so it’s today for me. Sorry about that

You're not too late. It's still the 6th of January in London. You're perfectly in time. Thank you.

-SH

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

Happy birthday mr Holmes! I have a gift for you 🎁

Thank you. That's very kind of you. What's in the box?

-SH

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

Hey Sherlock. Don't worry. I won't be boring about this. Speaking of boring, hey, what do you do when you're bored (excluding experimenting on human eyeballs and the coagulation of saliva after death)

When I'm bored I play my violin. Compose music. Perform experiments. Solve cold cases or research unsolved mysteries. Watch some telly with John. And annoy John.

Hi Mr Sherlock, I heard you like ginger nuts. Any other flavours you like when it comes to desserts?

Indeed, I enjoy a good ginger nut. I love ginger in sweets. Other flavours I enjoy are chocolate, caramel, vanilla and strawberry. Why are you asking? Are you planning to provide me with pudding?

-SH

[johnhwatsonblogs]

The only correct answer is chocolate. I can kind of accept Strawberry. But vanilla. Really Shelrock? Vanilla is the worst flavor. It honestly tastes like dirt.

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

I wouldn't call it the worst flavour. Denatonium benzoate is the worst flavour. Maybe I should give you a taste of it. I can easily mix the chemical. Maybe you're disliking vanilla because you only know the synthetic stuff. Real vanilla tastes different. Synthetic vanilla is made from wood or from chemicals left over from petroleum production. That doesn't sound yummy. I can show you real vanilla. Or maybe you're just not a vanilla guy. -SH

[johnhwatsonblogs]

Denatonium benzoate? Sounds to me like you’re trying to poison me again…

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

In small amounts it's not toxic. It's the bitterest substance known to man. It could make you nauseous. I wouldn't consider that as poisoning you. You've had worse. What about the real vanilla I offered? Did that catch your interest?

Hello, Sherlock! I’m a journalist looking for answers! I was wondering if you and John have any favorite cases? What do you two like to do on your free time? You have any new cases going? I heard you enjoyed the color pink, do you have a favorite shade?

I've had bad experiences with journalists. But you seem nice, so I will answer your questions.

My favourite case is the great game. I loved the different puzzles, the time constraint making it more exciting. My brain was running at optimal capacity. Of course the death of the old lady was very tragic. But I did solve the puzzle in time. It wasn't my fault.

In my free time I play the violin or perform science experiments. I can't answer for John. You'll have to ask him personally at @johnhwatsonblogs.

No case going at the moment. If anyone has a case, do not hesitate to contact me. I won't yell at you. At least if you're not being extremely dumb.

My favourite shade of pink is pantone pink peacock (#c62368).

-SH

[rainstarboii]

OH!! Now that you mention it, I DO have a case, if you and John are so willing?

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

Of course. Fire away.

-SH

[rainstarboii]

Hmmm. I heard of this murder of a girl that disappeared in the garage, but was found dead in her car in a ditch somewhere the next morning. You ready for this case?

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

Sounds intriguing. I'm ready.

-SH

[rainstarboii]

So, the security cameras show that she left her apartment at exactly 2pm. She she looked to be acting strange. Paranoid, even. Looking around as though someone was following her. Seemed to be talking to someone, too. She turned a corner and then disappeared. The car never left the garage

BUT, an hour later, a man had had came INTO the garage to get her car. He told police that she had asked him to get it since she “forgot”. This is her brother, I think

The police say that he did it, but I don’t think so. Thoughts so far?

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

For clarification: Did she enter the garage and then disappeared? Or did she disappear somewhere outside the garage and then turn up dead in the car? This case sounds complex. I will need more information. Can I look at the crime scene?

-SH

[rainstarboii]

Yes! Entered the garage and then disappeared! The crime scene is gruesome. Looks like she was sh0t but there was no gun

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

Was she killed in her car or outside? Could you describe the crime scene more, I can't work with that little information. I need more data. -SH

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

what are your favorite cigarettes asking for a friend

Windsor blue. I would advise your friend to not smoke. Very addictive and hard to quit. -SH

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

Nothing to say but to have a wonderful holiday to you and John

Thank you. We had a very nice time. -SH

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

Are you happy John’s back? Did you take care of him when he was sick?

Of course. I'm always overjoyed to see my Watson. Usually he's my doctor, but occasionally I do have to care for him. Was my care good enough for your medical standard, @johnhwatsonblogs? -SH

[johnhwatsonblogs]

Yes, I give you an A+. I have to admit I’m not a good patient, so I’m surprised you could put up with me.

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

There's the expression that doctors make the worst patients. Now I know why. An A+? I didn't expect that. I assumed my bedside manner leaves much to be desired.

-SH

[thescienceofdeductionblogs]

where were you November 23rd, 2021, at 11:18 PM.

At 221-B Bakerstreet. Why are you asking? Am I a suspect?
