I’m not going to go into detail about how I do what I do because chances are you wouldn’t understand. If you’ve got a problem that you want me to solve, then contact me. Interesting cases only please.  

1. I observe everything.
2. From what I observe, I deduce everything.
3. When I’ve eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how mad it might seem, must be the truth.</description><title>Science of Deduction</title><generator>Tumblr (3.0; @askdeduction)</generator><link>http://askdeduction.tumblr.com/</link><item><title>Photo</title><description>&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/756587de4e90211844955bf6a0b80582/tumblr_mhixepJGVl1qe4308o1_500.gif"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;&lt;img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/60a18db5aa974998fe08a3b622395072/tumblr_mhixepJGVl1qe4308o2_500.gif"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; &lt;br/&gt;</description><link>http://askdeduction.tumblr.com/post/52549845853</link><guid>http://askdeduction.tumblr.com/post/52549845853</guid><pubDate>Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:40:46 +0100</pubDate><category>american psycho</category><category>basically</category><dc:creator>leonardnimoy</dc:creator></item><item><title>Did you have a favorite story as a kid?</title><description>&lt;p&gt;The Ugly Duckling.&lt;br/&gt;
