In fact, the 'rules' (no mysterious "Orientals" or undetectable poisons, at most one Secret Passage , etc.) were formulated by Knox. Chesterton never took any notice, and Christie would certainly skirt these guidelines on occasion. (See History Of Crime Fiction for details.) This club has continued to this day, in one form or another. A number of works were published under the club's sponsorship. Most of these were written by multiple members of the club, each contributing one or more chapters in turn. In the case of '' The Floating Admiral '', each author also provided a sealed "solution" to the mystery as he or she had written it, including the previous chapters. This was done to prevent a writer from adding impossible complications with no reasonable solution in mind. The various partial solutions were published as part of the final book. PRéSIDENTS
