    "All Sleuthing 2013 related questions will be answered in the order asked at least once each day with one of the following letters..." Asking your "shrewd question" at a time when I'm actively posting and you'll be around for awhile should negate the possibility to some degree. Another option might be to ask it piecemeal and veiled, rather than risk helping another Sherlock Holmes. Last, others run the same risk with you benefitting from theirs. An equilibrium of fairness should play out with eight mysteries over nine weeks (63 days). Thanks for the procedural question; it was a good one.

    No probs Bob I am always ready to play.

    The first part of my post was a request for clarification concerning the structure of the mystery.

    This was my question:-

    "Is this person a member of RHP?"

    Fair question; however, "Person" is used in the generic/universal sense. Therefore, the accurate answer to your question:
    "Is this person a current or past member of Camelot Oasis in Space?" is could be (or possibly) but not necessarily.
