	Please accept the Reigate Squire as an alternate answer, and Illustrious is the proper spelling.

	Thank you for making this quiz! I did feel like the time was a little limited though, is that intentional?

	@briskt - typo corrected. never heard of it as reigate squire before, but i've added it in as it sounds like it could be an alt name. @sirMarcus - i've bumpud the timer up to 7. TBH - i only got about 1/2 when i did it, but i have a tendency to give up quite quickly.

	Lovely quiz, even if I'm too long past my years of Holmes reading to have done very well. (Minor note: You've got "Adevnture" a couple of times.)

	The original story in Britain was The Reigate Squires (father & son) but the magazine that published it in the U.S. was afraid of negative reaction (and lower sales) from America's democratic, anti-aristocratic tradition, so in the U.S. it's called The Reigate Puzzle.

	Great quiz, loved it.

	Good idea for a quiz. You have a bit of trouble with the 3 stories with "Adventure of the three ____" in the title. Suggest using "adventure" for one, "three" for another, and the noun for the third. You can switch "adventure" away from Engineer's Thumb, and use either "engineer's" or "thumb" since those are unique.

	Lovely quiz. I agree with david6k about the 'three' stories. I was a bit puzzled that 'the adventure of the three_______' would not accept students, until I spotted it as a later answer. 5 globes though and lovely to see another good SH quiz on here.
