What one should note about sanguinity's comment just above:
(1) The assertion that I needed to assign someone two works in order to make my math work is...suspect. That's the beauty of not taking guesses on (most of) the Sherlock stories; it leaves a pool of folk who offered both ACD *and* Sherlock who are all available as cards held up one's sleeve.
(2) The implicit assertion that she herself surely didn't author multiple works is also suspect, as prior rounds illustrate.
(3) On balance, I submit that she's actually being sneakier than I am this time around. (Someone should give her a mustache to twirl....)
