:09:01
your father's a doctor,
you spend much time writing,
:09:04
and you're fond of custard tarts.
Am I correct?
:09:08
- My name isn't James, it's John.
- What's the difference?
:09:12
- A great deal.
- Very well, so your name is John.
:09:15
- How did I do on the others?
- You were correct.
:09:19
On every count. How is it done?
Is it some sort of magic trick?
:09:24
No magic, Watson.
Pure and simple deduction.
:09:28
The name-tag on your mattress
reads 'J Watson'.
:09:31
I selected the most common name
with 'J'.
:09:33
- 'John' was my second choice.
- Of course.
:09:37
Your shoes aren't made in the city.
:09:39
I've seen them before when visiting
the north of England.
:09:43
Your left middle finger has a callus,
the trademark of a writer.
:09:47
You were carrying a medical book
not available to the general public,
:09:51
only to physicians. Since you
can't have been to medical school,
:09:56
it was given to you
by an older person,
:09:58
someone who is concerned for
your health: Your father, the doctor.
:10:03
- And the custard tarts?
- Simple.
:10:05
There's a stain of yellow custard
used in making tarts on your lapel,
:10:11
and your shape convinced me
you've eaten many before.
:10:14
- There's no need to be rude.
- Come on.
:10:17
- Hang on, where are we going?
- Do you want to miss Chemistry class?
:10:23
- By the way, what's your name?
- Holmes. Sherlock Holmes.
:10:30
The deductive mind never rests, Watson.
:10:33
It's like a finely-tuned instrument.
It demands practice.
:10:37
How does one go about
fine-tuning a mind?
:10:41
Problems of logic,
mathematical equations, riddles.
:10:45
For example, you're in a room
with an all-southern view.
:10:49
A bear walks by the window.
What colour is the bear?
:10:53
- The bear is red.
- Why would the bear be red?
:10:57
The southern sun is very hot.
The bear would be terribly burnt!
