Sure they do. We feed them a steady diet of Americans.

GG, if you need an excuse to come, then make it Niagara Falls. I'd post pictures, but this is a Sherlock week thread, not a tour guide. And in the spirit of Holmes, I'll let you do your own investigating.

And once you're there, pop on up to Toronto for a truly cosmopolitan experience. (Be sure to check out the CN Tower, which I believe is still the world's tallest freestanding phallic symbol structure or something.)

Then you can drive in any direction to soak in some truly gorgeous scenery, and if you're really feeling adventurous (or desperately want a martini), then of course head over to Quebec, with stops at Quebec City and/or Montreal. (The French purists hate English there, so spelling mistakes are welcomed). Just be sure to check ahead of time that the province is still part of Canada (they keep threatening to run away from home).

Also, our beer is quite popular with Americans, but that wouldn't interest you, young man.

Well then, make sure that if you go to Montreal, you take a stroll along St. Catherine's street.

well contest has started... i'd just like to point out one error in the text, where it says 'winners will be contacted on Saturday, August 22nd', which is basically yesterday.

Oh, i must once again ask the big bosses, does forum moderator count as 'staff members'?

You know, I always wanted to have absolutely nothing lying around and wasting space on my room's carpet. When will I get the package?

Oh, I was re-reading Hound of the Baskervilles as a preparation for the actual contest, and it turned out to be so simple... I will still take part of course .

I'll let you know as soon as I can get a shipping quote. I keep calling to ask how much it'd cost to mail absolutely nothing, and they keep hanging up.

OK, you're hereby disqualified unless you can also answer the following:

1) What was the name of the deadly bog plain?

2) What did Dr. Mortimer leave at 221b Baker Street on his first visit?

3) Which neighbour was related to Laura Lyons?

Hey, no peeking!

Hey, no peeking!

2) Walking stick. And I've just started reading today (with first time being approximately six years ago), so I can't answer the other two, tempting as the peeking would be (the book is just within my reach). Please don't disqualify me!

And, obviously, absolutely nothing is shipped for free.

Just kidding about the disqualification. That second part was just for bragging rights.

I entered my choices on the contest, although I had to look on Just Adventure Plus, to see what games Frogwares have made other than the Mystery of the Mummy. I'm sorry if this is cheating a little bit, but I thought I should let you know. I did know the answers to the first two questions, though.

You could also have used our Search Engine to find the titles

Or just read the rest of the posts in this very thread. The tricky one is mentioned on page 1.
