SHERLOCK HOLMES CONSULTING DETECTIVE (SOLVE)

This file contains solutions to the mysteries in the "Sherlock Holmes,
Consulting Detective". 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.
