Ok, so you have won a few Sherlock Holmes quiz prizes, but what if your life depended on your knowledge of the Sherlock Holmes stories?

As the questions get increasingly more difficult, the listeners find themselves realizing when their time would be up in this most deadly of quizzes in which the winner wins the most important prize - life itself.
A fascinating short story which also includes a series of Sherlock Holmes puzzles.

Story
It turns out giving up your "right" to be offended can be one of the most freeing, healthy, simplifying, relaxing, refreshing, stress-relieving, encouraging things you can do. It's a radical, provocative idea: We're not entitled to get offended or stay angry. The idea of our own "righteous anger" is a myth. It is the number one problem in our societies today and, as Dallas Willard says, Christians have not been taught out of it. But what if Christians were the most unoffendable people on the planet?
