12/16 (about par for the course for these for me), but there's always that rare, little extra satisfaction when I get the least-guessed answer.

Irene Adler (from "A Scandal in Bohemia") was the one person who out-foxed Sherlock Holmes in the Conan Doyle stories, and was the one woman Holmes held in highest esteem. And according to the story, she wasn't English, but rather from New Jersey.

I was surprised to see her in the quiz. I've read the stories many times, but couldn't remember the name of this character who after all only appears in a single short story out of 56.

The way to get it is to recognise her from the TV show.

How is Inigo Montoya not number 1? He says his name throughout the whole movie :-)

I’m sure someone else has pointed it out more eloquently, but it makes no sense that The Mummy uses that name. That ancient guy was just some advisor to the pharaoh who became mythologized after his death and got credited with being a legendary physician. It’d be like if in a few thousand years they made a movie about Abraham Lincoln being a vampire hunter or something.

Considering Igor doesn't get a hint, why does Irene Adler?

Yeah I agree, I think it should just be consistent. And it probably didn't help many people since the pool of people who've only read the books is surely fairly low. If you're into the books enough to know Irene Adler you'll probably have watched it. And yeah it's the same situation with Igor and Frankenstein.

I'm assuming it's because the picture they use for Irene Adler is just a headshot of an actress, whereas Igor's is directly from Young Frankenstein and of the character? I don't think there should be any hint for her though.

The picture of Irene Adler is also directly from Sherlock, or at least that's how it's labelled on IMDB

I've only seen Elementary so I kept guessing Moriarty figuring she was representative of Natalie Dormer's role on the show

Because Igor is currently at 49% and Irene Adler is at 23%, even with the hint? Igor is a much more visually distinctive character. Even if you've only seen Young Frankenstein once you could probably recognize him years later, because what other character looks anything like that? Even if you just have a passing familiarity with classic Frankenstein movies, you can probably guess who the character probably is based on the distinctive look. Meanwhile, Irene Adler looks like she could be any beautiful, well-dressed, modern-day woman, so unless you are fairly familiar with that particular adaptation of the Sherlock Holmes stories you'd likely never guess it without the hint, and even with the hint you'd probably only get it if you're already pretty familiar with the stories.

Is it common knowledge that Cousin Itt spells it's name with two Ts? I could not for the life of me figure out why I couldn't get that one.
