Other mistake: In the introduction of the game, Poirot reads the letter he receives from ABC. He reads it slowly and carefully to Hastings. It says, just to quote some of it: "You fancy yourself, don't you, at solving mysteries that are too difficult for our thick-headed British police? Let us see, Mr. Clever Poirot, just how clever you are. Maybe you will find this case a nut too tough to crack." Then he puts the letter on the table as the credits roll. The text on the letter is entirely different. ("I've heard that you are very good at solving problems which are too subtle for our poor British police officers and their slow minds. So, clever clogs, we are going to put you to the test.") Funnily enough, the first one, more concise and clearer, is the ACTUAL Agatha Christie novel version, it's not even a choice made to speed up the dialogue for a quicker pacing of the scene.
