• 13:01:47: Remember, Irene was married at the end of "Scandal...", so it can't be her.
  
• 13:03:10: Got 2 correct answers already. Come on, how many interesting female clients did Sherlock have, really?
  
• 13:03:48: @Gunmaster_G_9 2. No multiple answers allowed in case a story name is answer. Sorry...
  
• 13:04:59: Got all three. Once again, @blinkandumissit gets 5, we have @riyazusman - 3 and @ahankari - 1.

• 13:06:19: Q3.Despite to his impact on Sherlockiana, Prof. Moriarty appears as a character (not as just a comment) in only The Final Problem and ____.
  
• 13:06:38: @Gunmaster_G_9 I did, check rule #2.
  
• 13:08:36: As suspected, that one was too easy. Everybody getting the answer correct. "The Valley of Fear".
  
• 13:09:44: @alteregotist - 5, @blinkandumissit - 3 and @siddev18 -1. @blinkandumissit has taken an early lead.

• 13:11:20: Q4. Out of the 4 novels, 3 are very similar while the fourth one is almost completely opposite in one respect. Odd one out and why?
  
• 13:13:43: All four have narrations by Watson, 2 have past stories where Sherlock/Watson not present. Think characters, not stories.
  
• 13:14:31: @blinkandumissit He survives only till the epilogue. :D
  
• 13:15:14: Once again, think characters, not storylines, not components of stories.
  
• 13:16:06: @Gunmaster_G_9 Yup. Go ahead.
  
• 13:16:41: @sagarch Even Hound has a related past story where Sherlock wasn't present.
  
• 13:17:14: @gururajsrao You are on right track, very close.
  
• 13:17:51: Got one answer on right track. Closing in 1 minute. Once again, characters, not narratives.
  
• 13:18:52: Got two right answers.
  
• 13:20:18: OK, closing the Q. Study in scarlet, Hound of Baskervilles and Valley of Fear – the characters around whom the (cont) http://tl.gd/6284t8
  
• 13:22:13: @sagarch - 5 and @siddev18 - 3 (as you said, Sir Henry is American, not English ;) ).
  
• 13:23:06: @anannyadeb They are main characters in the story, not peripheral people.
  
• 13:24:17: OK, remember that QM is Mycroft for the duration of quiz. Moving on, we can discuss this later on FB page.
  
• 13:24:57: Again, points for that one - @sagarch - 5 and @siddev18 - 3 (as you said, Sir Henry is American, not English ;) ).
  
• 13:25:28: OK, now we are moving on to mix bag. Going outside the canon and onto other authors and other media.
  
• 13:26:29: Q5. An illustrator got his job because the commission was sent to him by mistake instead of his brother. It is (cont) http://tl.gd/6287c1
  
• 13:29:06: @sidin Lewis Carroll illustrated Holmes stories?
  
• 13:30:34: Well, that was quick. Got all three answers and more coming in as I type. @Gunmaster_G_9, @sagarch and @ahankari have fastest fingers.
  
• 13:31:42: Answer 5 is Sidney Paget, the illustrator of original Strand stories.
  
• 13:32:11: Although, their brother later denied that he modeled Sherlock after Walter, the intended illustrator.
  
• 13:34:10: Well, as I said earlier, @sidin gets a "B". :) Don't worry about sending wacky answers.
  
• 13:34:19: Now we are in twitpic territory. Q6. Connect and give the missing image in this (admittedly not exhaustive) list. http://twitpic.com/2opgrq
  
• 13:34:56: Multiple correct answers for the missing image possible, correct one will be determined based on the connect.
  
• 13:36:50: Believe me, we are still doing Sherlock Holmes quiz, but as I said, we have moved on to non-canon stories and other media.
  
• 13:38:14: @Gunmaster_G_9 Umm, how do these images connect to Diogenes Club?
  
• 13:38:59: @sagarch Very very close one. Modify your answer to arrive at the right connect.
  
• 13:41:13: Not Diogenes club guys. And believe me, #1 is not Diogenes.
  
• 13:42:03: OK, closing in another minute if nobody gets it. I have one answer very very close to the correct one.
  
• 13:42:41: @sagarch "A" detective?
  
• 13:44:25: All right, no correct answers on this one, so QM gets all points. These are the more famous characters of the (cont) http://tl.gd/628e55
  
• 13:45:36: I was looking for Iron Man (Robert Downy Jr.), but there is a huge list which you could have picked out of and still counted as correct one.
  
• 13:48:24: Fans of "FRIENDS" this one is for you: Q7. Connect pic #1 to Sherlock Holmes. Then connect this connection to #2. http://twitpic.com/2oplzn
  
• 13:50:07: Once again, now we have questions on non-canon (other authors than ACD) and other media (movies etc.) Think outside the canon/
  
• 13:51:48: Complete answers please. What's the connect to #1 and how is that connect related to #2?
  
• 13:54:08: @AdityaMorarka Ans what about Matt LeBlanc?
  
• 13:56:13: @krtgrphr @AdityaMorarka That's Star Trek VI, not Next Generation, and definitely not Lost in Space.
  
• 13:56:31: OK, one more minute for answer, then closing it.
  
• 13:58:10: The poster says, Star Trek VI guys.
  
• 13:59:49: OK, closing this since no answers. Director and Screenwriter Nicholas Meyer. His first Holmes novel is (cont) http://tl.gd/628jjl
  
• 14:02:46: Too hard? OK, I'll start giving out hints with the questions now.
  
• 14:04:21: Q8. Same as above. The answer is a story. (BTW, the blurred image is a dead giveaway so will unveil that if nobody gets it)
  
• 14:04:53: @sociopulse Thanks. My mind works a bit twisted. ;)
  
• 14:06:37: Oops. Q8. Same as above. The answer is a story. http://twitpic.com/2opq6v

• 14:11:23: OK, as I said, this should now be very easy: http://twitpic.com/2opt1m
  
• 14:13:32: Is anyone there? Am I making it too hard?
  
• 14:14:57: Nobody? I am closing this in a minute now.
  
• 14:16:13: OK, the answer is - Short story “A Study in Emerald” by Neil Gaiman puts Holmes in a Lovecroftian England. (cont) http://tl.gd/628p4p
  
• 14:18:26: OK, I think I am making it too twisted, so time to cut it a bit short. Easier questions coming up now. Remember, crazy answers welcome too.
  
• 14:19:30: Q9. Reginald Owen(Film), Carleton Hobbs(Radio), Jeremy Brett(Theatre), Patric McNee(TV Movie). What’s this (complete) list?
  
• 14:20:41: Where are the leaders? Is @blinkandumissit resting on his early lead?
  
• 14:21:22: @siddev18 You are getting there...
  
• 14:22:13: Remember people, this is a very exclusive list, made up of only 4 people mentioned.
  
• 14:22:42: @sociopulse Close one, try once more.
  
• 14:22:59: @blinkandumissit Not fair.
  
• 14:24:12: Got one correct answer. Can there be a list of Sherlock actors without Downy Jr.?
  
• 14:25:30: Got all three. Only 4 actors to commerically play both Watson and Holmes, and the resp. mediums of the feat.
  
• 14:26:19: I think people are waking up after the tough ones. @sagarch - 5, @AdityaMorarka - 3 and @shatadal - 1.
  
• 14:28:43: @sagarch is catching up with @blinkandumissit now, no one else is close. We may be looking at a tiebreaker with just one more question to go
  
• 14:29:36: @srikvlteswaran Charles Dexter Ward? Not the correct answer.
  
• 14:30:18: Last question coming up, read very carefully.
  
• 14:31:17: Q10.Writing about The Missing Years, author A writes about Holmes meeting X and B has him meeting Y, while in (cont) http://tl.gd/628tqc
  
• 14:33:49: All three answers in one tweet please. I'll take both authors or their resp. books as an answer.
  
• 14:35:57: @siddev18 Fill in the blanks :D
  
• 14:37:52: @srikvlteswaran Oh, your correct answer was marginally after the first 3 correct ones. Sorry.
  
• 14:38:23: @sociopulse In that case, what's A and B?
  
• 14:40:03: People are getting C, but not A and B. OK, I'll make it even easier. Hint - A is the title character of C's novel we are talking about.
  
• 14:40:54: We got one correct answer as I was typing that (2-3 close to right ones before). Come on people...
  
• 14:41:17: @siddev18 A, B and C?
  
• 14:42:15: One more minute, then closing this question. Have 1 right answer so far.
  
• 14:45:13: Giving points even though the answers were scattered. @Crownish got it without the hint, @siddev18 and @sociopulse finally arrive there.
  
• 14:46:21: Amswer - A = Laurie R. King (The Game), B = Jamyang Norbu (“The Mandala of Sherlock Holmes” or “The (cont) http://tl.gd/6291v5
  
• 14:48:32: We have @blinkandumissit and @sagarch both on 13, with @siddev18 on 10. Are you guys ready for a tough tie-breaker?
  
• 14:52:09: Sorry @blinkandumissit and @sagarch, the tie-breaker is once-again a movie connect. :D
  
• 14:52:51: Tiebreaker - Each movie in #1 has an actor connected with Sherlock Holmes. Both those actors together are (cont) http://tl.gd/6293or
  
• 14:53:04: http://twitpic.com/2oq3qc
  
• 14:53:45: @sagarch Will be a quick one.
  
• 14:54:28: Further hint - I can replace Two Towers with Attack of the Clones or Revenge of the Sith, and this will still work.
  
• 14:56:44: Umm, our leaders are MIA, I guess.
  
• 14:57:29: All right, @blinkandumissit passes and @sagarch got a meeting, so I am leaving this tied.
  
• 14:58:28: Winners are: @blinkandumissit and @sagarch with 13 points, @siddev18 with 10. Full results: http://twitpic.com/2oq67j

• 15:00:51: This is the QM signing off. I am expecting many brickbats to @AmeyC about this quiz :D
