What was doctor roylott's biggest mistake as a murderer?

It's hard to say. Probably underestimating Holmes and believing that his trick with the poker would scare him off. Miss Stonor's wedding was far enough off that Dr. Roylott could have postponed his efforts until Holmes would lose interest. Holmes would not have stayed at the local pub indefinitely. Holmes might have foiled his plans in the short term but he was ingenious enough to figure out something in the long term.

What is a quote to show Irene Adler outsmarted Holmes?

Here is the last paragraph from 'A Scandal in Bohemia':__And that was how a great scandal threatened to affect the kingdom of Bohemia, and how the best plans of Mr. Sherlock Holmes were beaten by a woman's wit. He used to make merry over the cleverness of women, but I have not heard him do it of late.
