Re: Library of Babel

It's a cryptic clue.  Do you know who Mycroft is?

Re: Library of Babel

Mycroft?  You mean Sherlock's brother,  who was the smarter of the two,  but too lazy to do anything?

Re: Library of Babel

I'm not sure my brother would be happy to be described as lazy smile

Mycroft did his analysis sitting in an armchair.  Physically not much but mentally a tour de force.

Oopsies! I didn't think of it that way.

Then your brother, who's in the University of Edinburgh, is working on a mathematical fact checker?

That sounds really awesome.
