What is involved in the "Little Jobs?"

What level of difficulty are they and what skills should one have before attempting on of these?

What are the effects/benifits of completing a "Little Job"?

Have access to Google? ;)

Little jobs are simply three questions, randomly, about mystery books and authors. You can look up the answer online. The effects are that the faction you did the "little job" for likes you more (more faction points). Your standing with their enemies goes down. You only have to answer one question correctly to complete the job, but you get more faction points if you answer more correctly.

I'm with Sir Kenneth - you do need two right answers.

By the way, Fizzlewig, I love your detective name!

You need 2 correct at least. This will increase your standing with the factions by 2 points.
Get all 3 correct, you can expect 3-4 points.
Quit a case to please your faction (like what I do to keep PC status), you gain 1 point.
Solve a case they'd rather have you quit, you lose 1 point.
Server reset, you can experience a loss of up to 4 points.

So it's important to do them all right. :) After a while, you know most of the answers.
