Maximum number of villain hunt clues?

What Ho!
I was just wondering, don't you know, if there was a limit to the number of clues one gets given when hunting for a villain? My own experience is that four clues can be too few to deduce where the blighter is lurking, but I have never received a fifth clue.

Is there a "Nimrod" out there who has stuck out the tedium long enough to get an elusive fifth clue?

It reminds me of the time that "Squiffy" Henderson went on Safari in the Galapogos Islands hunting for Giant Tortoises - spent three months on a rock waiting for one to go for a staked out lettuce - turned out he was sat on one all the time....(wanders off for a medicinal brandy at Pete's Bar, muttering)

Yup, 5 is possible. I often had to wait for all 5 before being able to accuse. Hang in there.

"The missing clues have been added for those townies, so I’m now confident there are no longer any situations where somebody should have to guess on a villain hunt, as long as they are patient enough to get all the clues. "

So if you are in a situation where there is still two people it could be, then you are probably missing a clue. I had one city where it took 24 cases to get my final clue.
This thread is where I got the quote and some other people chime in with the sometimes seemingly endless amount of repeat clues they have received.

Ah! Many thanks, Ladies.

I bimbled over to the thread suggested by the delectable Miss Parker, only to see me own fizzog staring back at me blankly - I blame the Mem Sahib for cooking the rhubarb in an aluminium pan myself....
