Thanks, Will - Aha! So interesting.

I love that Douglas Adams story. Of course, it may have turned into a murder mystery if, for example, the type of biscuits were mentioned. People have killed over custard creams vs plain digestives ;-)

Ha ...I love that story and the "tip". I just wonder if the other guy was having a similar thought process as our narrator?

I love the story, didn't know it yet. The objects used seems so obvious, but how do you find the perfect mystery?

One of my favourite examples of how it's so important to never introduce anything irrelevant to a story.
