0:00.0	And the Yeah, The Adventure of the Final Problem is the last of the short stories of Sherlock Holmes from the memoirs of Sherlock Holmes written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
0:39.0	It was first published in the Strand magazine in December of 1893. Conan Doyle later
0:45.6	ranked the final problem fourth on his personal list of the 12 best home stories.
0:52.0	When Conan Doyle wrote it he originally intended it to be the
0:55.1	last Sherlock home story as he himself wished to move on to other literary
1:00.1	pursuits. More on that when we get to the end. This story puts Sherlock Holmes'
1:05.8	skills to the test when he's faced by the greatest criminal mind in England,
1:09.8	Professor James Moriarty, one that has endeavored repeatedly to kill Sherlock Holmes.
1:18.0	And now the adventure of the final problem of Sherlock Holmes mystery from Arthur Conan Doyle.

1:35.1	gifts by which my friend Mr Sherlock Holmes was distinguished. In an incoherent
1:41.8	and as I deeply feel, an entirely inadequate fashion, I've endeavored to give some account of my strange experiences in his company from the chance which first brought us together at the period of the study in
1:54.4	scarlet up to the time of his interference in the matter of the naval treaty
1:58.8	and interference which had the unquestionable effect of preventing a serious international
2:04.6	complication. It was my intention to have stopped there and to have said nothing
2:10.0	of that event which has created a void in my life which the lapse of two years has done little to fill.
2:16.4	My hand has been forced, however, by the recent letters in which Colonel James Moriarty
2:22.2	defends the memory of his brother and I have no choice
2:25.8	but to lay the facts before the public exactly as they occurred. I alone know the absolute
2:31.8	truth of the matter and I'm satisfied that the time has come
2:35.2	when no good purpose is to be served by its suppression. As far as I know, there have
2:41.2	been only three accounts in the public press.
