25) Sherlock was able to guess the last digit of the lucky lottery number on my fortune. How did he do it?
He Googled: "41 53 11 16 17"<br> including the quotation marks. I only get one result.
But this is lucky. I couldn't find anything for the numbers on the other fortune.
f) I left out a question labeled b. What is your best guess as to what it could have been?
b) What is the difference between proposition and proof?
Holmes lists these pairs in the same order.
16) Sherlock said that he was not born as Sherlock Holmes but rather someone else. What was his birth name? What country was he born in?

the entire universe as the infinitely fractured echo of one original sound-man; the entire universe as the infinitely multiplied copy of one original picture-man. His method is to treat man as the measure of all things, but in doing so he again proceeds from the error of believing that he has these things [which he intends to measure] immediately before him as mere objects. He forgets that the original perceptual metaphors are metaphors and takes them to be the things themselves.
A kaleidoscope of impressions derived from subjective projection of metaphors derived from fictitious concepts. "Life is a fantasy" of man's measure of the universe.
