"Oh please, help me, help me!" the damsel in distress begged the Great Detective TriKi, who watched and winced as the damsel flapped her school tie.
"My Hindi exam paper is lost. I have searched high and low, in and out, behind and beneath..... I cant find it anywhere", she wailed louder and louder. "I really, really need to hand it in tomorrow."
The Great Detective TriKi raised one hand and signaled for silence. The keen eye scanned the room minutely while the great brain processed visual information and calculated the odds of the missing paper turning up behind the curtain, under the mattress, inside the school bag, somewhere in the humungous mess on the desk...
"I can see all the other papers on the desk," TriKi muttered. "History, English, Physics, Biology...Hmmmm, the Maths paper looks rather bulky. Find Maths heavy-going, do you?" The damsel looked blank.
"Anyway, my dear, you really must not bother me with such trivial problems. It's perfectly obvious where the missing paper is. And if you had used the process of logical reasoning and systematic elimination, you would have found the paper within minutes," said TriKi, walking majestically out of the room.
"But... but.. where is it? Tell me!" asked the damsel petulantly.
Do you guys read Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot or other such brainy detectives? Write in and tell us which one is your favourite. And dont tell us where the missing paper is, coz... We know!
