Arthur Conan Doyle's Crime solving detective "Sherlock Holmes" made his living by solving otherwise inscrutable mysteries which people brought to him. By observing the ash from a cigar, or the color of mud on someone's trousers and so forth he would deduce who they where, where they came from and so on. At the end of the Mystery, the good Dr. Watson is always amazed at Holmes' deductions even after they are explained to him.
