I'm currently working on hard, and I've been working on hard for several months. I've solved a couple of Really Hard cases, but I'm convinced it's just luck. I have the following skills: Hypnotism, Advanced Rule Bending, Intermediate Sweet Talking, (I'm working on Advanced Sweet Talking) Research, Stress Detection, Lock Picking, and Hair Analysis. Is this enough to move on to Really Hard?

You should have "thread analysis" at least, so you can find threads at the scene of the crime! (you only find foot & hand automatically) (Apologies if you do, and you just didn't type it in.)

A full set of gear? Unless that's just sitting in the agency. (I have always thought all detectives that were in big thriving agencies like yours should have access great sets of gear.)

With those two provisos covered, I think that 'with a little help from your friends' you might be moving on.

Speaking of "a little help from your friends", one thing that might be useful is a list of how many suspects you can expect to find at each difficulty level and of these, how many you can expect to have a fake/no alibi. Really helps when you move up. I got this list from Reda waaaaay back, and I still think it's the single most useful nugget of sleuthy info I've ever gotten. Glad to share with you or anyone by PM...just ask.

E. Hosn- The number of fakes/none per case is constant. Only the number of suspects can be x or x+1.
