With Jstkdn's permission, I am posting 10 questions relating to real-life PIs. I'm afraid the reality isn't quite as glamorous as the fiction, but see how you do anyway. (there's an extra point available on question 10)

1) What do the letters ‘A.B.I’ usually stand for if printed on a PI’s business card?
2) What is a ‘process serve’ to a PI?
3) To a surveillance specialist, why are subjects on bicycles notoriously difficult to follow?
4) An investigator finds a body arched in such a manner that only the back of the head and the heels of the feet are touching the ground. There are no obvious injuries. What does the investigator immediately suspect caused the death?
5) Are fingerprints on a bloody knife found at the scene of a crime classified as direct evidence or circumstantial?
6) A fellow PI asks you for assistance with a ‘skip’: what type of case does he need help with?
7) A solicitor client asks for a ‘pre-sue’ report on a subject: what is being asked for?
8) What word is being increasingly used instead of private in the abbreviation PI?
9) In which of these countries do you require a licence to be a PI: England, Israel, Republic of Ireland or China?
10) What did the term ‘Gumshoe Man’ originally refer to, before it was applied to a detective? (additional point awarded for the etymology)

10) the original "gumshoes" of the late 1800's were shoes or boots made of gum rubber, the soft-soled precursors of our modern sneakers... At the turn of the century "to gumshoe" meant to sneak around quietly as if wearing gumshoes, either in order to rob or, conversely, to catch thieves. "Gumshoe man" was originally slang for a thief, but by about 1908 "gumshoe" usually meant a police detective, as it has ever since.
