I am stuck on the puzzle where you are supposed to draw an ellipse on a map. I have tried this at least 100 times and can't seem to get it right. Does anyone have any idea what i am doing wrong.
I place the compass half way on the green line and form the ellipse and nothing happens. Holmes is supposed to respond when you have it right.
Am I the only one having a problem with this.
I even watched it on a you tube video and still can't get it right.
Very frustrating!
Please help

Hi Alan,
Make sure that you're pulling the ellipse far enough out to leave a little space between it and the two marker spots at each side. The ellipse shouldn't actually touch the markers. This puzzle is a little fiddly.

Nope still nothing.
Might anyone have a saved game?

My own saves aren't labelled, but here's a site page where you can download individual saves for the game: SH vs JTR saves Hope that helps. If you have any problems either downloading or locating your save folder, let us know.
