It only works if you have found a handwritten note at the crime scene at which point the skill allows you to decipher if the note was written by a right or left hannded person.

You probally need to get some smart equipment, It would be better to get items that have positive pts in smart and charming or tough (which ever skills you have choosen).
You can either buy it from the detective shop or you can get some from favors if you are willing to wait.
I would suggest waiting if you aren't having any problems solving the case's, it will be cheaper on you that way.

Favors have turned out to be useless so far, for this character. All I ever get are charm supplies. I am tough and smart. What gives? Do they purposely give you the very type of object that WON'T work in your favor? A conspiracy, perchance?

Get great at Cosa, and buy for cheap a tommy gun, zoot suit for tough. Or a shortwave wristwatch for smarts.

Also Lucy sometimes sells a studden bracelet, also gives a lot of tough. It is a cheap steal too.

Don't go to Lucy to get stuff unless you have quite a bit of money. Most of the good gear starts at about 15K, although occasionally there are ok things for 3K or 6K. But there's no guarantee (unless you want a flapper dress) that you will find any particular thing on the day you go and then you have kissed $500 goodbye for a night of cool jazz.

And you don't even get to hear the music.

skills are based on having the right equipment and also a bit of luck. So even if u dress smart your hand writing skill wont always work. that the luck part.

i wouldn't spend $$ to get smarts equipment unless u r loaded. it is ver expensive and u can get good stuff by doing favors.

Sometimes - like I said, I have only gotten trash so far.

Yet again. Today, I have gotten the fourth beret. I am going to go out and purchase a real beret so I can burn the damn thing.

What is it with that? Every day I look forward to the favor's, expecting something good. All I get are F$%^ING berets! I bet you if I chose to be charming, all I would get are tough gifts.

Favor's are useless.
