I *think* that what he means as that every piece of evidence MUST macth a person and one person only, regardless of alibi.

I think Serges is refering to people with real alibi's (operative word being think.. I could be wrong and indeed I often am).

When you have the maxumim PE but the minimum suspects each person with a real alibi will always match up with one of the PE, leaving only the PE left by the killer.

e.g on an AI case with 4PE and 10 suspects there will only ever be 3 people with real alibis. As only 1 person with a fake alibi can leave PE it follows that all of the 3 real alibi suspects must match with a PE.

Exactly that, Geddes. When you have x alibis and x+1 pieces of evidence, it follows that all your alibi suspects must match a piece of evidence, which then gives you more statistically sound options when trying to narrow down the "killer" evidence.

Now, when you have X alibis and X pieces of evidence, there will be one alibi suspect who doesn't match ANY evidence (a red herring, so to speak) which makes things more difficult to discern.

I think the confusion is because you say 'X alibis' to mean 'X real alibis'.

PE can never match the person who is revealed to be fake through Research.

Likewise, if a person is dead, and they have a fake alibi, they will never match PE.

Serge's Law...

If you have max evidence / max suspects, (so four real alibis) will 3 of them always match PE?

Wait, I just thought that through. Of course it means that. You can't have two fakes with PE. D'uh on my part!

The majority of the time, a suspect dies on the 2nd time you click through to their name. Sometimes it happens on the 3rd time, but not as often.

A dead suspect is not your killer, so you can use this to your advantage. Once you get all the info you need from your suspects, you can click through to see if any will die on you. If they do, they are not the killer.... so there's one less person to worry about!
