Get to the Bottom of This Detective Quiz

Sorry, yeah Dupont et Dupond are the detectives in the series but he is the one doing the detective work.

I'm disappointed. No mention of Vincent Rubio, the world's greatest velociraptor detective? For shame!

Geez, Darkwing Duck but not Duckman. I say again where is Duckman! Needless to say I got the Darkwing Duck question wrong, because really he isn't Duckman. I expected to see something about Sam Spade, Phillip Marlowe, Mike Hammer, or The Dude and I was disappointed. Not surprised, but disappointed.

But most importantly Duckman where is Duckman?

I scored 100% on my first try, but I must say that the Batman question is confusing since in the early comics his craft might look like one of two of the answers.

The Batgyro. What exactly is it?

That's a gyrocopter. A sort of missing link between the regular airplane and the helicopter.

Thanks. So it's kind of dubious what the correct answer is. But I'm glad I guessed the correct answer on that one (and still top 50, woot).

Well, that went as poorly as I expected.

That Representing Crime class I took at university finally paid off! The only question I missed was the Batman one, and I guess I assumed it was disguising itself as a trick question. It wasn't.

3/10.

Don't go calling me when there's a murder.

Mathamatically I should have aced the quiz already...4 tries, every wrong question answered with each choice, but everytime I got the same 4 wrong...

Which thief was The Original Gentleman theif, that even outsmarted Sherlock Holmes once?

Arsene Lupin
Masterfully chivalrous, polite, eloquent, a genius of planning and master of disguise. Maurice LeBlanc's book is a very interesting read.
