Eri's Testimony case (manga based: files 610 to 612, episodes 505&506 (right after the Clash)).
What doesn't work: Eri's description of her visit with the stylist: (file 611, page 8, second panel)"I came at 8 o'clock, and had a shampoo for 10 min. Next a coloring for 20 min. Afterward a shampoo again for 10 min. Then I had a perm for 10 min. Then once again a shampoo for 10 min. And then I had my hair cut for 15 min. Finally I had my last shampoo for 10 min, and got my hair blow-dried and cut which took another 10 min. Which makes it almost an hour and a half, right?"
Why it doesn't work: Now, it could be argued that some of that is translation, but it shows up in the anime version exactly the same. I work in a salon/spa (though I'm a massage therapist and not a stylist) so I see stylists at work all the time: coloring, cutting, blow-drying, flat-ironing, curling, perming, and whatever else. There are a number of things wrong with the timeline Eri gives. An hour and a half is a reasonable length of time for a color, but the description doesn't match. Also, you can't do a color and a perm on the same day (too many chemicals all at once will damage the hair, I think--I'm not entirely sure, but I have heard my coworkers explaining to clients that you need to space out perms and colors by about 2 weeks). Color is usually applied to dry hair, so she would not have been shampooed when she first came in. Color usually takes about 20-30 min to process (the "drying" Eri refers to later) during which time the stylist can leave to take care of whatever else needs doing (several of my coworkers regularly use the processing time to grab lunch, or they'll fit in another client). She also lists having her hair cut twice, and way too many shampoos that take far too long. It honestly looked like Aoyama-sensei's "research" was to wander into a salon and get his hair cut, watch the other stylists doing things, and make stuff up based on what he saw stylists doing, without even asking any questions.

I've been wondering if maybe there are other cases like that, so I figured I'd ask if anyone else has spotted one. Please list what case, which details don't work (or shouldn't work) and why. Also please note if the case is manga based, anime only, or not animated yet (anything not animated yet does need to be put in a spoiler tag, please) as this will help others locate the case in order to possibly debate details.
Please be nice; I want to encourage friendly debate, not start a flame-war.

• Changing clothes as fast as he does.
• That leads to something else... how does he carry all of his stuff around?
• Many of his tricks can't work like they do either.
• Oh, and don't forget about his glider.

I'm not disagreeing with what you said, but there are other things that just don't work.

Obscure wrote: i dont know if this counts , but this was a comment on youtube of the case Mushrooms, Bears, Detective Boys.
"Juveniles: Yearlings are susceptible to high mortality rates as a result of starvation, predation by other bears, and vehicle collisions. About a quarter will die before they turn two years old.

The 2 oldest known bears ( this is in Florida)were 20 years old (killed in 1985) and 19 years old (captured in 2004) Both bears were sows. (The oldest known male, from the Ocala population was killed by a vehicle at 16 y/o "

so that old man said 20 years ago juvei , the bear , saved him . and she was an adult then, so that sums up that she is older than 20, which is kind-off impossilbe because the oldest juvenile bear was 20 year old .

unless juvei wasnt discoverd.
