Who is Sherlock Holmes' most trusted friend and associate?
Dr. Watson, in full Dr. John H. Watson, is a fictional English physician who is Sherlock Holmes’ devoted friend and associate in a series of detective stories and novels by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Watson, born in 1852, has served as an army surgeon in India, where he was wounded during the second Afghan War, and has returned to England in impaired health. He and Holmes meet in London; they share rooms at 221B Baker Street. The medical practice Watson establishes does not prevent him from accompanying Holmes on his crime-fighting cases, which he later records and publishes.

That line never appeared in the Holmes canon once(the original 56 short stories and 4 novels written by Sir Doyle). It was a creation of Basil Rathbone, the Golden Age Hollywood actor best known for portraying Holmes.

He later married Mary Morstan, who once inexplicably called him "James".

The location of the wound that ended Watson's military career is unclear. In one story, it was in his leg; in another, it was in his arm.

Igor Osadchin, you are about out of questions, hence for the time being you’ll not have bonus games. You might also find you no longer have the option to select optional games for awhile. I’ve been under this handicap for a couple of months now.
