This is what Sherlock Holmes actually "said":




"How often have I said to you that when you have eliminated the impossible whatever remains, HOWEVER IMPROBABLE, must be the truth?" - The Sign of the Four

"It is an old maxim of mine that when you have excluded the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth." - The Adventure of the Beryl Coronet
