The Logical Lie Detector

Chapter 6 in 3.1416 And All That, 1985, pp 33-39 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract SIR ARTHUR CONAN DOYLE was a master at weaving tangled tales of intrigue, whose plots were eventually unraveled by the cold logic of Sherlock Holmes. “Elementary, my dear Watson,” says Sherlock, and so it is, if you can keep track of the numerous clues leading to the one unescapable conclusion. If you feel up to tackling this type of mystery, join some mathematical detectives and take a crack at the task of tracking down a murderer.
