Ok. If you've read a majority of the Holmes stories, you probably know that Holmes has a brother. I'm going to ask some questions about this brother, and I expect you to answer them to the best of your ability :D This brother's name is Mycroft Holmes. Remember, NO INTERNET. And ONLY use the book if you absolutely need to.I want this to be challenging :D
1. In which Holmes mystery do we first meet Mycroft Holmes?
2. Is Mycroft older or younger than Sherlock, and by how many years?
3. Where does Mycroft work, and how much money does he make in a year?
Alright, that's all for round one. Please post your answers in the comments section...and after a few days I will check the answers and let you know how you did :D

Goodness...I need to read up before posting my answers...oh, believe me, Bre, this most certainly is challenging. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna wing it...
ReplyDelete1. Um...I can picture the episode in my mind, but have no clue as to its title. When I am told, I shall smack my forehead in disbelief at my cluelessness.
2. He's older...dude, I don't even know, 15 years?
3. He works at the Diogenes Club, and makes waaaaay too much. ;)
@Mary - haha! That was my intention :) It wouldn't be any fun at all if it was easy...
ReplyDelete@Grace - I shall reveal the answers tomorrow morning :D
Alrighty. Here's the answers:
ReplyDelete1. We first meet Mycroft Holmes in "The Greek Interpreter."
2. Grace was correct here...he IS older. But, older by 7 years.
3. And...he does kind of work at the Diogenes Club, so I guess I'll let you go on that one. But i was thinking more along the lines of the British Government..you know, his secretive stuff? And he makes about 450 pounds. See the "Bruce-Partington Plans."
Good job, that was tough :D
Dude, like *this* tomorrow morning? Goodness, I've gotta get a-going! K, here are my answers:
ReplyDelete1. I also know, yet don't know. If being more specific than Grace gets me more points, I believe the mystery was in the Memoirs.
2. Somewhere in the range of 15-20 years older...I'm trying to be specific, but I'm really not sure.
3. the Diogenes Club. :) Uh...20,000 pounds a year??? Or 15,000???
*dies* Wow Mary, I posted my comment exactly one minute after you :) You hadn't posted anything when I typed :)
ReplyDeleteTherefore...the running total is:
Grace: 1
Mary: 1
(I'm giving you both the 3rd one, because I didn't think about the fact that he does work at the Diogenes Club :D)
lol Bre... =D
ReplyDeleteGrace, we failed. Miserably. Wow. Our stupidity on this here trivia is appalling.
