Plot
Geordi plays John Watson to Data's Holmes in a holodeck created mystery.
However, since Data has memorized all of Doyle's stories, he quickly solves
the puzzle. When Pulaski claims that human understanding of mysteries and
solving them is beyond Data's ability, Geordi programs the computer to
create an original story and invites Pulaski along to watch Data solve it.
Unfortunately, the computer merely combines elements from different stories
providing no more difficult challenge than the first attempt. Geordi ins-
tructs the computer to create an adversary capable of defeating Data and the
computer obliges by creating a Professor Moriarty that is able to access the
computer and even cause damage to the ship.

Goofs
- Geordi asks, "What's wrong Data?", Data gives him the page. Geordi says,
"Data this is impossible," and he flips the paper over so that it faces
the camera. At this point we see the drawing right-side-up, which means
that Geordi was looking at it upside down.
