pull a sherlock

A reference to Sherlock Holmes, the main character in a series of mysteries by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. The detective often solved cases by noting miniscule evidence. The phrase is often used sarcastically when someone points out the obvious. However, it can also be used seriously when someone solves a mystery.

"Way to pull a Sherlock, man!"
