The core input on the desk is a string of letters that must be connected as an input, since the desk is covered with letters and sequence numbers.

0:00How many developers does it take to find Sherlock Holmes? Today we're going to find out. Scott, Wes, and I have been dropped into Sherlock's Holmes apartment at 221B Baker Street. We have to find clues, write some code, and basically figure out where Sherlock Holmes went. Are you guys ready? >> Yes. More like Sherlock Homie. He's my homie, and we're going to do this together. >> I am not a fan of escape rooms or

0:27anything like that. So, I'll I'll do my best, but we'll uh Yeah, let's get into it. >> Yeah, we'll see. And so, this is uh from Coding Game, the same people that do Clash of Code. They have these collaborative escape rooms. So, we are dropped into Sherlock Holmes apartment in London August 6th, 1889. And it seems that Sherlock has left his apartment at 221 Baker Street in a

0:49hurry. He was in search of his worst enemy, solving a strangely related investigation. Mrs. Hudson called you. Possible successor is acclaimed by Londoners to track him down. Knowing Sherlock, he must have left some clues to find him in case he disappeared. In this first part, Miss Hudson opens the door to Sherlock's apartment exactly as he left it a week ago. He must try to collect all the traces that Sherlock may

1:10have left in order to locate him. We're counting on you. Good luck. A quick tutorial of the UI here. Basically, we're going to be clicking around trying to find stuff. And anything that's labeled as uh an output or an input can be connected to the code. So, >> okay, >> we can see that like this one here would if I run this function, it's going to output that there.

1:37>> Oh, it's playing music. >> Fascinating. >> There's there's a lot of sequence numbers or letter sequences like all over the >> So, this this was actually fascinating. it. Whatever notes you put in here, that's what the violin plays. So, that's cool. But then there's also um like inputs. >> Okay. So, I have an input that I've gotten from his desk that is listed as letters. And if I simply just output it,

2:08it says the numbers do not match the provided uh expected format. Now I'm curious about why they don't match the expected format because it is a AGB8 whatever. >> So there's lots of little hints on Yeah, there's lots of hints on his desk. So definitely if we connect those letters as input, I think that's good. But like the bottom left um maybe these are the permutations that a note has to take. So

2:31like A goes up and to the left. I don't know what that means. B goes up and to the right. Um oh it would be like chess moves. Is it chess moves? H chess moves is interesting. I was thinking that like Y becomes M and then we'd have to find another one. M becomes what? And it's just like string replacing. >> Okay. But there is a chessboard on the
