Intriguing- I like that unlike other mystery story/shows, the characters of Hyouka had considered external factors and not solely base on the written story- Like whether Hougou is aware of certain things, the props she had requested, what details did she focus or didn't focus on etc. It adds a new side to the story.
I'm sure I'm not the only one, but clearly all three members seem to be aware of Oreki's 'skill' (
or at least heard rumors?), all of them seem to be pitching their ideas to him and not really the Club as a whole.
Of course, Oreki had to play the 'dumb' card...

P.S - As a bonus, now we know what kind of drunk Chitanda is
Can't wait for the fanarts...
