Oh my, I shouldn´t have gotten out of bed today. Well, I did and maybe on the wrong foot. But hey, it was 4.30 when the phone rang, so what would you expect.. Anyway, I took the case, but that stupid client who woke me up, was guilty. I know, I know, should´ve gone back to bed, but no no, not me.. I went to work, and there was next waiting. I took that, and after spending a LOT of money bribing townies, I didn´t get my reward... At lunch time I had solved 5 Incredibly Hard cases, and what did I get?
Nothing!
So I went to the Bar and took a couple of drinks.. well 5 actually, one for every case.
After "lunch" I took a little easier cases and what did I get this time...? NOTHING!
( At least townies gave me rewards)
I´m going back to the bar and have another 5 drinks.
Just thinking, do they think I´m stupid or something, when they hire a detective knowing well that they´re guilty....
Now my question is: has this happened to someone else?
Just curious.
(and sorry if this on the wrong board)

i had 7 in row but saved and had det. with pick pocket skill solve. Not real sure but maybe U shouldn't have changed case difficulty, I am pretty sure I did the same changed after 4th then got 3 more. I figure if I get 4 in a row ever again I will be sure to do a favor so that when solved I will get something in return and break the streak!!2-4-1DEAL!!!!!

Oh so its easy's AHA! I also noticed the amount of clients guilty is rising when I do easy cases.
I guess thats it!

Then I guess it's not just me when I see that if I do easier or same-level cases repeatedly, the cases will get a little harder or the client will become sinister!

Well, statistically you have less people to chose from when you do the easy cases. The client has a 20% chance of being the guilty person with 5 suspects as 10% chance with 10 suspects...

Remember there is no luck, only math <shudder>

and I thought it was Bens way of telling us not to do cases under our level.
Paranoid me lol it was only math.

Cicero no luck??Try winning at the track and if that doesn't prove to you that there is luck then read the help it says "All mysteries are solvable, in fact there are always two ways to solve any single mystery, but player skill and a small amount of luck are necessary to nab the guilty suspect"
And your stats don't account for suspects that have real alibi's

Ha! I bet your the kind of guy who would go to vegas and hit on 16 because you've got a good feeling...

Winning at the track is almost entirely based on statistics. The odds tell you what to expect. For every 100 races that three legged tom runs he is expected to win once over the long run. Unfortunately the long run in statistics is something that most of us will never see.

Besides I never mentioned alibi's in the other equation because they didn't matter. If you look at any case regardless of alibi's you have that number of suspects and one of them has to be guilty. You have just as much chance for the 1st person on your suspect list to be quilty as the last. Your confusing evidence and methodology with statistics.

So to begin with you don't know how many suspect are in the case some times you start with one other times you get 3-4. And then the times when you don't have enough skill and you can't even find out how many suspect there are in the case??So how do you figure odds without knowing how many suspects??Some suspects get eliminated before you even know how many total suspects so if you don't know how many suspect total when case starts how do you figure then??
And if you think winning at the track is almost entirely based on odds you haven't been to the track!!Three Legged Tom he has won total of 1 race. So about how many races has there been give or take says 50(he has been in all)??
