Some of those are a bit obscure, when he is frequently known as Bendyface Slumbercrunch or Bonyshanks Cummerbund. And indeed Brittlebean Cloudycrotch.

Omitting reference to Jeremy Brett in this quiz, while still mentioning Robert Downey, Jr. and Benedict Cumberbatch, is egregious. The latter can't hold a candle to Brett's performance. For a LARGE number of Holmes fans, there is Jeremy Brett, and then there's everybody else, as it relates to actors portraying the super-sleuth.

For all who are unfamiliar with Jeremy Brett's performance, Granada produced a series of Holmes episodes for a decade beginning in 1984. Must've been approx. 41 episodes in all. The first 13 featured David Grant as Dr. Watson, followed by Edward Hardwicke as Watson for the rest. Do yourself a favor, and get a hold of a set of these and kick back one winter and binge of the best Sherlock Holmes depiction there ever was, or ever will be.

And yet you mention Brett without saying anything about Rathbone. Each to their own :-)

No Brit would ever refer to "Baker" rather than the full "Baker Street" (not sure why the shorter American usage has never caught on here, but perhaps it's too confusing when there's often nearby a Baker Rd, Baker Circus, Baker Crescent, Baker Ave, Baker Sq, etc). I'd suggest adding "St" to the answer, therefore, but honestly it's too trivial to bother with...

Or maybe - and hear me out - Baker is sufficient because the question asked is "What STREET does he live on?"

Yeah, but in Britain if someone asked what street you live on, you'd still answer "Baker Street". Because that's what it's called...

The question asks for the street, and the street is Baker. I'm a Brit and I can see Baker is acceptable since the question asks for what street, not just 'where does he live'.

This quiz didn't require much deduction. An elementary beginning, now we need one worthy of Mycroft or Moriarty.

Irene Adler isn't really a romantic interest in "A Scandal in Bohemia." She outwits Holmes, and he is clearly impressed by her, but that's pretty much it. She doesn't show up in any of the other written Holmes stories. She only became a proper romantic interest in screen adaptations. The question is fair enough (especially since we get the last name), but I thought it worth keeping the record straight.

Also, if I remember correctly (and I'm reaching waaaay back here), Adler's scheme is responsible for Holmes earning enough money from the king of Bohemia for this one case that he is free to pursue whatever pleasures he likes for the rest of his life. This is one of the very early Holmes stories, so that bit is used to explain his irascible behavior and his general indifference to whether anyone but him is satisfied with his work.
