Yeah. :) I don't know very much about Conan Doyle's stories and characters, just the basic things. But what I know about Moriarty is that he is a very smart criminalmind. Not only smart, he is a genius. I think that's why sometime Sherlock compare him with a spider, and his plans with a spiderweb. He is smart enough to create very complex plans that create a huge net and trap you.

In Count of Montecristo book they don't talk specifically about Edmond's intelligence. However, before he was arrested he only knew about navegations things. He didn't knew how to read, nothing about maths (only what he needed for his business), etc. And with the help of Abbe Faria he learned in a few years (5? 7? 10? Don't remember) what we usually learn in all our lifetime studying. I think it needs a great intellect to learn that much in so little time.

And don't worry, it isn't a bother. :) I'll go and see. But I must warn that I learn very little about those three. I know about Moriarty and Edmond just because I love books and novels.
