I realise that I'm weeks behind but I've just seen the 4 minute preview of Elementary Now I am not against it at all in fact I was starting to look forward to watch it( go ahead hate me but I thought it looked ok, as long as you don't compare it to the BBC version that is) but in 4 minutes they have already managed to have a continuity issue. At the start he says "a surgeon, by the look of your hands" and then at the end when she asks "How did you know I used to be a surgeon?" He replies "google, not everything is deducable". Is he just winding her up or have they really sunk to the expectations of the BBC fans?

There are a large number of bottles from alcohol. These bottles are all different not only ranging in brand but also in type there is red wine, cider etc. making alcoholism unlikely as they are creatures of habit. A party is also unlikely as there isn't other evidence in the rubbish of a party. I don't think this is Mr. Speurder's rubbish but rather someone else has dumped their rubbish on his lawn. The fact that the rubbish is spread out suggests this was an act of hatred against Mr. Speurder rather than someone just didn't want to pay for rubbish collection as that would more than likely be more rubbish and bagged up in some way. Then there is the fact of the camp fire as far as I am aware this is not a usual feature of manicures gardens :D The dumper perhaps lit this to draw Mr. Speurders attention. This would have been very effective during the night which is more than likely when the rubbish was dumped because someone walking around in an area where Mycroft lives with bags of rubbish is sure to draw attention in broad daylight. The rest of the contents of the rubbish lead me to believe that a student is our dumper. Typical student rubbish. Instant noodles, alcohol, cola, value bottles of pop. I'd ask Mr. Speurder if he's ticked off any students lately.

Now about Mycroft's hot tub is it that his hot tub used to be here or this is a spot next to his hot tub that we've just to deduce things about?

Chapter 6 - The Crossword Clue
I've seen the clue in the source code and I've also noticed that 'journies' is mispelled and they've taken the trouble to specify which paper the crossword comes from but I just can't figure it out. I don't even know if those things are clues or not!

Also the sign on the carriage door (mirrored) in the image...clue or not clue?

This game is going to pull all my hair out, I swear.

Which chapter is this again I did it about a week ago and I've forgotten already :/ If you send me the link to the chapter in a pm I can give you a clue if you like.

Here, in the UK, we definitely say ' got to see a man about a dog' I've never heard the 'horse' version.

This is what I also thought because we often use this phrase when we don't know where some one is or we are being vague we say "going to see a man about a dog" I have never heard it in relation to going to the bathroom.

One I found quite useful to cheer yourself up is do all your school work 221B style. It always helped me get through a stack of homework because I was still in Sherlock mode :D

I'm having a senior moment with Chapter 7. Have the map & found coordinates but haven't got a clue what to do with them.
Tried putting in words as the URL & got one (Gorgon) that said"very very close" but I'm stuck now.
My brain is frazzling, lol.

Google gorgons and I thin kit should give you a clue ;)

Is anyone on level 9? I'm really stumped.

I imagine you can sit down and rest awhile for the rest of us to catch up. I'm still trying to anagram IFCLALOTONCU (and I used Purple Hell, or whatever it's called--no one word answers) on Level Three.

This is a pretty involved riddle; glad no one's sitting around with a bomb strapped to them waiting for me to solve it...

Yes you need to couple this with the calculator idea. I'll help you with the first one and after that you should be able to finish the level. OK so if you look at 8 on a calculator it looks like 2 squares on top of each other yes? Now if you think of what e would look like on a calculator and take that away from the eight (the 2 squares) you are left with just a side from each of the 2 squares which make and I. You need to apply this technique to all the things from the source code. Remember to check if it is + or - and then anagram the letters. Is that clear enough? I probably didn't make any sense

Molly the a reagent is a chemical. You need to look at the pictures and put the words together to make a chemical. I'm not sure where you live but make sure you think of the British name for things 
Sherlock you need to look at the source(right click and there should be an option to view source or inspect element)  and if you need more help after that just let me know and I'll give you another clue.

Are these solvable at face value so to speak or do you have to have read the original stories?

Am I thinking to deeply here (or just not THINKING at all!)

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong but the meanings I took from those were Martin Freeman = hedgehog
and the apple table cloth is to do with the apple Moriarty had. I'm not sure about the first aid kit though. That's just what I took from the pictures I may be wrong though.

I think it looks ok if you just look at is a new program. If I saw that ad on tv I would be interested in watching it definitely pales in comparison to Sherlock I also don't think that they brought through much of the sort of "sense" of the characters from the original books, which BBC does, and  I think that is its main downfall.

Ah thank you! I just saved it and then looked at the properties because that sort of information is always saved on the images. I'm sure that link will come in handy for some Sherlocking! It's quicker than my method and more exact. :D
