Does anyone know the following:

In AI cases there can be 7 or 8 fakes and 10 or 11 people.

If I only have 10 suspects, does that mean there will only be 7 fakes, or can there still be 8?

So far when I've had 10 people and only two real alibis, I've always asked for the third alibi and it has always been real - always leaving only 7 fakes... I haven't encountered 8 fakes yet with 10 suspects... I'd really like to save a question!!!

In my experience with AI cases, there are ALWAYS seven fake/no alibis, regardless of the number of suspects. If you're getting the 7-8 from the Sleuth Helper, it's useful to know that altho it's a generally useful guide, it does have some errors.

i think i got it initially from the message boards, and then made some adjustments based on experience... but now im questioning getting 8 fakes... maybe i really haven't and just haven't noticed?

anyone else have thoughts?

I've only ever had 7 fakes when doing AI's, whether there are 10 or 11 suspects. I can't remember seeing anywhere that says you can get 8 fakes so i'm not sure where you got that from :)

I don't think I've had 8 fakes ever. The only way that could happen is if you only got 3 clues on an 11 suspect case though, yeah?

So, are you all solving AIs based on 7 fakes only??

Wow, that would make things easier!!! I have no idea where I got 8 fakes either, now that I'm thinking about it. Maybe it was the sleuth helper? I don't remember.

But if that's what everyone else is going on, it must be right. Sweet!

Also, 7 is without research. Its 6 if you have that skill. :)

According to the Sleuth Helper:

Almost impossible 11 people 4 evidence 7-8 suspects

I am soooooo glad to know that there are only 7 every time. This will make my life a lot easier.

Thanks everyone!

AndreaX, there can also be 10 OR 11 people in AIs.

And I must say, 7 solid fakes is certainly making it easier. Wish I realized that during my first few AV hunts!

No kidding Ranier! and true enough about only 10 suspects too...

*wishes somebody would fix the sleuth helper statistics*
