Sherlock Jeopardy!
Hello my little Sherlockian friends all over the World. I thought that a New Year should herald (like the angels) a new Sherlockian game. Oooo! I can hear you cry...how exciting!
Are you sitting/lying/thudding comfortably? Then I shall begin...
It is like jeopardy. Someone gives a Sherlock/Sherlock Holmes related answer to which someone else must give a correct question. If that is correct the person giving the correct question gives another answer and someone else tries to give a correct question. Confusing? Hope not but you know us...if it is possible to get confused eh... 
I will start us off with a nice little answer to which one of you geniuses can work out a question:
1895

Re: Sherlock Jeopardy!
I just got ridiculously excited that someone had a go at this. Were you really Susi? How did you do? The crotch thing is funny...I think whoever in charge of Google search has a bit of a dirty mind! Lol!

Re: Sherlock Jeopardy!
Not at all, Davina, sorry. I'm now slightly worried that my question was a dud. If I'm correct then it's from Study in Pink.
