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!!!

Ms. AndreaX,

I believe those statistics are a Sleuth secret and the only reason they are known is because of the hard work of previous detectives.

This may be an opportunity to announce my own version of the Sleuth Helpers. I created them in Excel so that I could save them when I had to walk away. Right now I only have the Macintosh versions. I will be posting PC versions very soon. How do you get them?

Sleuth helper has some mistakes in it. AI has always 7 fakes (6 after reaserch).

The number of fakes in ALL levels is a fixed number, while the number of suspects is x or x+1. So only the suspects number can change within a certain level.
This has been like this since I play (so almost for ever :)

PM me if you want the list of numbers.

Those sleuth helpers you did in Mac work very well on my PC Barry. Thank you for those updates.

Wow, it's like a whole new world now that Reda has essentially confirmed the facts. SWEET!!!

Lol. That makes things so much more easy! Makes me wonder how the heck I did it before when I was making it harder on myself!

LOL I think I have this list for ever...

I do wish others would save it too, getting a bit tired of PMing it all the time. So if you got it from me feel free to save this and PM it to who ever asks. Dont post it on the boards though...it's a bit of a spoiler for those who want to find it out by themselves.

*gets all misty eyed thinking about way back when he first got Reda's list*

I have it saved and would be very glad to send it to anyone who wants it. Just ask.
