Somebody needs to post some Chaucer or Shakespeare trivia questions so I can at least get into double digits with my sherlock totals!

Cho, I'm not complaining but I thought the person who scored the highest on your test got one (1) Sherlock. These Sherlocks shouldn't be that easy to get - takes away the fun. IMHO

Ok...I can do that.

Then, so far the answer providers are as follows



Laurie 17 :shock:
Kvetch 11
Ghost 9
Amarra 9
Kahrey 2


I will fix above.

Thanks.

Edit: Fixed. Also, Amarra and Kahrey added to this post. So far, Laurie is winning the Sherlock.
