How Lizzie Could Have Won by Killing Only One - 3/4 page (478 words)
The first use of the recurring poker analogy. Don't fold, yet! That's no way to deal with it!
(I'm gonna draw that analogy out 'til I'm called on it. Even then, I might just double-down.)

Historical Mysteries
How The Pyramids Were Built - Pt. 1 of 3
3 pages (2042 words)
The Shape And Surface Of The Path From The Quarry To The Pyramid. Approach Ramp & Mud Slide Eliminated. Solution Based On Natural Occurrences And Techniques For Harnassing Them, Vital To Life In That Area, At That Time. The Only Mystery Is How It Was Ever Forgotten. (I Had No Answer In Mind, When I started Writing this. My Only Purpose Was To Criticize The Old Story About The Gangs Pulling With Ropes, Over their Shoulders.)
How The Pyramids Were Built - Pt. 2 of 3
3.5 pages (1966 words)
Another real forehead slapper! I promised to make the most surprising conclusions, convincing. The only surprise, here, is that it hasn't always been understood. It doesn't seem possible that it could have been suppressed, even by the most ardent efforts of the government, like burying workers alive, etc., as we see in those grand costume blockbusters. (The remarks in parenthses [Pt. 1, above] go here, too.)

Demands on his time
His retirement seems related to the death of Edward deVere.
The rate of production compared to the possible length of deVere's career
He didn't work in a law office.
He probably couldn't even write.
Two arguments against his authorship, discarded.
Mark Twain's statements and those he quotes.
