    • Trivia
      The Swedish elk cheese is made in Bjurholm elk farm outside Umeå, Västerbotten. The price is 560 U.S. dollars per kilo (2.2 lbs).
    • Goofs
      Holmes incorrectly states they need to know the location of the delivery of the first package where there are no paint chips. They actually want to go to the location where the last package was shelved that contained paint chips. The last spot that contains paint chips is the package the driver removed from the truck while walking it into the building. Hence, there would be paint chips in that spot in the truck when the woman landed during the driver's absence. The next package delivered would create the first clean spot on the truck.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Joan Watson: This is one of those "so many questions" moments. Why only three times a year?

      Sherlock Holmes: Well, I'm not sure. Having never milked a moose, I imagine one must catch it in the right mood.
