Great find.

Re: Sherlock alphabet game
Interesting. It was an allusion to Alan Turing who wanted to go to Norway because he had heard that they had places where men could dance with each other. I have no idea how tolerant the country was at the time but it seems it was more tolerant than Britain (which would have been easy).

Re: Sherlock alphabet game
Yeah Also knew that. Where did I get that from? Was it mentioned in Hodges' book?
Sorry, to bring that up here. It's off topic.
