Each solution consists of
three parts:
Date: the date of the newspaper
appropriate to the crime. For some reason, the game never tells you this!
Visits: the set of addresses you must visit before you are allowed
to appear before the judge. Some addresses can be visited by either Holmes or the
Irregulars, in which case they should be visited by the Irregulars for a higher score.
Such addresses are listed under 'Irregulars'. Some addresses, on the other hand, must be
visited by Holmes in person.
Answers: the answers to supply to the judge. Only look here if you
must!
