One single dumb-bell.

Holmes turned to MacDonald. “I have it! We’re looking for a man with an immensely powerful right arm, and a scrawny, nearly invisible, left arm!” Holmes demonstrated with his own arms – looking rather like a fiddler-crab attempting to portray Richard the Third.

I cleared my throat. “Or one was used to sink the evidence.”

Silence. “Or that.”

Good job someone has some common sense.

Fortunately, it's the one writing the story and makes Holmes look brilliant.

Yup...or that, Holmes...

Again with the Occam's Razor, Holmes.

[debriswoman]

Yup...way too complicated, Holmes:-p

Holmes was just considering the highly highly improbable.

[gardnerhill.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's it. (Fortunately Watson will fix that in the edit.)

Love your summary, and love your description of Holmes doing his demonstration ^_^

I grinned myself at the mental picture I created with that image.

Adorable. My deduction for a fiddler crab....

Must be fiddler-crab season (https://youtu.be/-pChZeIE_3o?t=21).

Very observant, Holmes, to note that it was the right-handed dumbbell on the scene! :D

Probably the shine on the bar where the fingers had gripped it.
