DEDUCE LIKE SHERLOCK: Just Deduce It (Episode 1)

This is the first episode in the Just Deduce It series. I was sent four pictures, but I did my deductions from only two of them. If you're interested in sending me some of your own pictures to be deduced, please go to my Patreon. Thanks for watching and I'll see you in the next video!

Watching this in 2020, I really have to say, you came a long way. You're so much more comfortable and professional in front of the camera today. Good job, Sir!

4:57 i also saw that it says "moms rules" which ruled out UK because we spell it "mum".

[chenedwin]

Good video! I really enjoy the process of deduction . However, some of the objects in the photo are too blur to be able to observe...

[enigmabodylanguage]

Definitely the US as a card to the right says mom on it which tells us the US

Nice video Logan, by the way, I noticed before that in the second picture that behind his pencil cup there seems to be a framed picture or plaque of a basket ball, with some text underneath it, from that I was already expecting one of his hobbies to be basket ball, just a little something I thought gave even more weight to your already solid deductions. Looking forward to more.

i dont think the guy writes just for owning a not book and pencils, hes just a guy who is in school and does his homework, i can tell for the papers inside the binder, and the things below it on the top right hand corner of the desk.

[SpecterAGgaming]

There is also a batman on the desk on the right hand side. That solidifies the hero deduction.

I have to say I was starting to doubt myself as a deductionist then I got virtually everything right in this video. Thank you for helping to restore my confidence

[YangMin_ki]

I noticed that he also likes to play video games and he's at least somewhat dedicated to them. On the shelf, there is a pipboy model from the Fallout games which you could only get from the special edition which costs around $80. If he has that then must have a next gen console such as an Xbox one or ps4.

*Here is my deduction:*
Name: Max
Age: 16
Gender: male
Dominant hand: right
Hobbies: reading, writing (LOTR?), basket ball, bowling, science, playing pc games (fallout 4)
Reading taste: fantasy
Favorite Superhero: Flash

EDIT: The name was first to come to my mind, I haven't really read his name on the journal, but hey, nice that my unconscious picked that up! Yes, the leather ot the books is a good marker, that he enjoys reading. I haven't known the link between reading/writing and art, good to know.
Overall nice video!

Binging all your content after discovering you this past week. You are definitely honing your craft on here and I genuinely appreciate your quality and your content. Thanks!

[MissLachine]

Could you do more of these? I Think the idea is really great to train yourself to be my observant of different surroundings.👍🌟🌟

He lives in NY, USA. The red book on the desk is a study guide for a Regents Exam, which is a series of standardized tests given at the end of the semester during high school in New York State and it's based on subject (ex: chemistry, spanish, math). Having the book shows that he was very studious and took his school responsibilities seriously.

In the first picture it seems like there's a Zelda logo on the cube on the above right, and the mouse pad looks also in the gaming genre, thus also being into gaming as a hobby. what do you guys think?

[Lilshiro]

The black notebook is super common in target/ us stores and the paper size is slightly stouter than A4 (proportions wise) limiting place to the US. (A4 is standard almost everywhere else and I think and is slightly longer/ skinnier - follows the golden ratio so it’s an easy to tell instinctively)

[emaanabdul]

I deduced he liked basketball before the second photo because if you look behind the pen and pencil holder on his desk, there is a framed picture with a basket ball on it.

[taimdala]

I rather enjoyed this! I hope you do more of these. I regret that the resolution of the photo, despite the setting on the channel (1080p HD, thank you!), wasn't sufficiently high enough for me to ferret out all the crunchy details like book titles, handwriting, and so on. Those are things I arrow in on. But still, I love these sorts of puzzles.

You've won me over. I'm subscribing! Thank you so much for this series. Keep up the good work!
Cheers!

The fact that Max enjoys reading is not proof that they also do art. A lot of people read but don't draw, and they didn't even have that many books on their desk to start with.

There is one thing that might suggest their drawing hobby: the pencils show that they are likely to be an artist because who needs that many pencils? Especially if their age range is 14-18 because schools don't typically like it when students use pencils at that age because of exams. Therefore, I think the reason why there are so many of them is being the pencils are likely to have different hardnesses (HB, 6B, 2H etc) which suggests that they draw.

!!!However, it is important to note that all of these pencils of red eraser tips at the end of them, which is quite uncommon for artist pencils, so it is also likely that he just bought a whole pack of regular pencils instead of individual ones because it was more convenient or cheaper.

Picture 1:
America. Mom.
Male
Right handed.
Secondary school age. High school.
Likes doodling.
Likes science fiction but not to the point of buying lots of books evident from the sci-fi novel red rising. There are two more books in the series but they aren't on his desk suggesting he didn't love it.
Also he likes comic book style stuff (his mouse pad). And he likes that kind of stuff also evident from the batman figure.
There is a book in the top left corner. It looks like a personal book one would write in themselves. I'm on phone so it's too small to read but there's most likely a name on the front.

2nd pic:
Favourite superhero is batman.
Loves basketball and is very good at it.
Either they are very young or the toys have sentimental value.
Looking at the first picture again, they are left handed. I fogot to look at everything before coming up with an idea.

I knew it's the USA, because this notebook in up left corner is frequently shown in Amercian movies and TV series but I have never encounterd one in my real life.
