Damn, I thought I worked out what we were all missing (according to Stephen Moffat).
I heard Sherlock get a text message before he started laughing.
On rewatching, no text alert.
And I suppose I should have realised that he wouldn't have the old standard SMS Nokia text notice.
It must have been my Mum's phone going off downstairs!
Back to the drawing board.
I've never been any good at this type of puzzle.
Usually what I think of as a clue turns out to be a plot hole.
Like how long it takes to get a headstone erected (3-6 months).
SPOILERS!
One thing out of character for Sherlock, apart from the emotion in his voice and choosing to make a phone call instead of sending a text is his distress at Moriarty's death. Moriarty was a villian and Sherlock is a pragmatist. He's seen corpses before. Moriarty was trying to kill him. So what is he sniffing into his sleeve for?
