It definitely wasn't a tie. Kogoro provided the decisive clue simply by not giving a s*** about the case.
Kogoro wins this round. Period.
Also because he didn't act like a bloody retard.
Basically, yeah.

Also, I'm pretty sure Sera knows as well as Kogoro that Shinichi came out on top, she was just testing Conan's reaction (because, I mean, just being a bystander you wouldn't normally react like Conan did). So it's just her getting more Shinichi = Conan info IMO

The question is, what's she going to do with that info?

Sera had enough info to find out that Conan is Shinichi from her first appearance. Now she's just toying with him.

She's been toying with him since they met on the roof of that hotel.

Also, weren't Jodie and Akia engaged. Surely she would have met or seen pictures of his sister

I think the development with James Black is actually more interesting than the rest of the Sera stuff :V

sadly, it will be quite some time before that bit's revisited, I bet D:

and I like how Heiji says "Kudou used the bizarre Kansai-ben", but even if he'd suggested it, Conan was still the one who used it. Good going, Heiji :P

better theory imo: James Black grew up on a farm and is using a hilariously bad pun here.

So it's a normal case next week, huh ?

I'm beginning to get tired of Sera. I hope her role is not similar to Eisuke's.

Not canonically, no.  I'm not even sure that they've dated.

I might wake up early and go running. I also might wake up and win the lottery. The odds are about the same.

I was under the impression they had, and lookin at the DCW wiki it seems to mention it in passing also:

    Jodie Starling
Later on in the series it shows that Akai and Jodie used to go out but he broke up with her because he was going out with Akemi and didn't want to feel guilty about two-timing them. Jodie still loves Akai despite the break up.

This may sound cheesy, but bear with me.  I would say that Shinichi won, not because he delivered the final deduction, but because he was able to set pride aside and cooperate WITH Heiji to reach the conclusion.  He's come to learn that insight from others can be very valuable (especially when the shonen tantei-dan spout childish remarks that turn out to be gigantic hints).  I am liking this development of Shinichi's character!  He's come so far, after getting knocked down a couple pegs of course.  *sniff*  I love that tantei-bozu...
