Quote: Sherlock Holmes

“..when you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth.”
- Sherlock Holmes, The Sign of the Four (1890), Ch 6



BYTES BONUS
For the Trekkies:

"An ancestor of mine maintained that if you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains – however improbable – must be the truth.”
- Mr Spock, Star Trek VI, The Undiscovered Country, implying that he is descended from Sherlock Holmes. There is a resemblance.
