 The Three Students

　Holmes and Watson had left London to come to town for a case. One day, Holmes is visited by a man named Soames. He was an examiner for a scholarship exam to be held the next day. According to him, the question paper for the scholarship exam had been photocopied. He also said that the culprit was one of the three students who were scheduled to take the exam. So Holmes talks to Bannister, who has been taking care of Soames for 10 years. Holmes then calls Gilchrist out of the three students as the culprit.

　It is interesting to note that, usually in this story, Holmes solves the problem of cheating, which is not a criminal case.
