If he is so good, then he should be able to solve this puzzle like he solved other ones in under 2.5 min. This man needs a life instead of doing puzzles forever.

    hey thanks guys — a genius friend told me that one.

    Btw: did you know that in all 85 Holmes sequences, he never said that line?

    Oh — another Holmes joke:

    Watson barges into Holme’s office, and there he sits on the couch, with a young girl on his lap. He screams: “Omg — what kind of a schoolgirls is this?” and he: “Elementary, my dear Watson”.

    And — I know LOL, what’s the rest???

    Amazing — didn’t know that there WAS such a thing as a CWP-Tournament…

    Reminds me of a Sherlock Holmes joke, when Watson was doing the Times CWP, asking Holmes:
    What’s a citrus growing plant? And Holmes replied:

    “A lemon tree, dear Watson” (Elementary, get it?)
