Thousands of people tried to solve this live mystery posed by ‘Sherlock’ on the BBC

The game is afoot…

Following Sunday night’s gripping episode and a thrilling finale promised for this weekend, there’s plenty of excitement surrounding the current season of Sherlock at the moment. The BBC decided to capitalise on the level of interest by allowing ‘Sherlock’ to take over the BBC One Twitter account on Tuesday evening to see if their 1.2 million followers possess the same powers of deduction as the famous detective. From 8pm on Tuesday evening, ‘Sherlock,’ in a style reminiscent of the smug, arrogant and impatient character played by Benedict Cumberbatch, provided followers of the BBC account with a series of text and visual clues to see if they could discover who killed Daniel Collard. If you didn’t catch it at the time, you can see all the clues below and have a go at solving it yourself. Be sure not to scroll down to the answer at the end until you’re ready to suggest a solution… or at least until you’ve simply given up. https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818910395570089984 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818910536146550785 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818910665528184832 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818910802472091648 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818911292341817346 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818911546998919168 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818912046683226112 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818912813708177410 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818914050558066689 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818914326950146050 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818914820342878208 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818915321805422592 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818915569823088640 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818915827437158401 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818915867459289088 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818916325431054342 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818916826885275648 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818917313047134209 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818918079728144386 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818918596227321856 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818919097144672256 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818919607415218182 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818920098773798912 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818920343230410752 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818920437514178566 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818920876255100933 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818921620182024192 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818921793477955584 https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818921963284467713 Solution below...           https://twitter.com/BBCOne/status/818924164429979648
