Hopefully you appreciate a bit of gentle ribbing :slightly_smiling_face: (I think I’ve seen you say you do in one of your dildo reviews?)

‘Complete copies’ :slightly_smiling_face:

And :poop:2 says ‘fictional death’, so I think it’s covered. :slightly_smiling_face:

Nothing wrong with a bit of ribbing!

:poop:2

I get how under the guise of fictional the answer on the card is correct as in the book Holmes’ death is fictional however unless you are insinuating that the Sherlock Holmes novels are non-fiction recounts of History then Moriarty also fell to his fictional death just not his fictional fictional death like Sherlock. I do not think the answer Sherlock Holmes should be marked wrong, I just think Moriarty should also be marked correct.

This might be my bad. I may have transposed the question wrong. Let me check the card…

Edit: Nope. The question on the card is: “Who fell to their fictional death…”, and it only wants one name. I’m tempted to say something about it being ‘implied’, but I think I can rustle you up an extra point for such a persuasive argument. :slightly_smiling_face:

Sorry last few days I’ve been busy.

I did the quiz just now and compared to your answers and I would have got

2 - 5 - 1 - 1 - 0 - 2 = 11 I might have got away with a half mark somewhere on top of this perhaps but I come in just under my average.

Well done to everyone this week
