Same song, same verse
A little bit louder, and a little bit worse

Aaaaargg, two days of cases and no fifth clue. *Sobs in the corner of the Cairo cafe*.

Just chugged into my fourth city; Cairo.

How on earth do you avoid those repeat clues, Yeti? Please tell me.

He codes the thing. I'm sure he placed a skip for himself somehow *mumble grumble 18 cases in Shanghai. 18!!!*

Only 18? I've had the same 50-50 choice for 18 cases and still unresolved. Bah! Sleuth gods, turn not thy backs on my woes...

There's an idea for a new item. After the compact travel kit we could introduce the avoid repeat clues kit. As a reward after solving an x number of scripted mysteries ...

Or for playing for more than ...10 years :))

I wouldn't crow too much Yeti. The race is not yet finished, images of the tortoise and the hare are springing to mind.
Besides we all know how fickle the sleuth gods can be. One day nothing can go wrong, the most impossible of cases solved with ease. You find your co-conspirator in 2 cases. The next day, you have been told that the co- conspirator is south of the race track for the 5th time, and you've had to quit 4 cases. Your only other clue has been repeated 3 times.

Hmmmm Yeti... I got to my third stop - London - and got my first clue FOUR straight times. Guess I will be spending the night in The Old Smoke.
