> Write a short dialogue in the style of Arthur Conan Doyle in which Sherlock Holmes deduces that his client is unable to log into their computer account because their CapsLock key is depressed.
Sherlock Holmes: "I see, Mr. Smith, that you are having trouble logging into your computer account. Allow me to deduce the cause of your difficulty."
Mr. Smith: "Please do, Mr. Holmes. I have been trying for the past hour and I am at my wit's end."
Holmes: "The problem, my dear Mr. Smith, lies with the CapsLock key on your keyboard. Observe the position of your fingers as you type and you will see that they are not aligned with the keys in the usual manner. This suggests to me that the CapsLock key is depressed, causing all of the letters you type to be in uppercase, which does not match the lowercase letters in your password."
Mr. Smith: "By Jove, Mr. Holmes, you are correct! I never would have thought to check the CapsLock key. How do you do it?"
Holmes: "Elementary, my dear Mr. Smith. It is all a matter of observation and deduction. Now, if you will excuse me, I have a case to solve."
Mr. Smith: "Of course, Mr. Holmes. Thank you for your help."
