About this quiz

Arthur Conan Doyle's Sherlock Holmes short stories were gathered into five books between 1892 and 1927. 55 of them are in the pool here.

  • The Final Problem closes the Memoirs, and The Adventure of the Empty House opens the Return.
  • The Adventure of the Cardboard Box is left out, because British and American editions print it in different books.
  • A wrong pick shows the right collection and the round goes on.
