Hello all.
I'm fairly new to Sleuth and I thought I might share a little hobby of mine with you all. Here's something for that sad moment when the mysteries of the day are all done.
Thousands lay up gold within this house,
but no man made it.
Spears past counting guard this house,
but no man wards it.
What is it?

The purpose of the game is not only guess the word, but also say why?

Creative, but no. You can also throw tyres of a cliff.

Another Shadow and Sid one:
Shadow heard that Sid Shady had drawn up a detailed plan to rob a local bank. He brought Shady in for questioning, and naturally Shady was struck with one of his memory lapses. Shady denied the existence of such a plan at first, but finally broke down and agreed to tell the truth. Shady said he thought he was being tailed, so he ducked into the local library, and hid his plan in a book. He said he was certain it was between pages 125 and 126, but he had been so intent on committing those numbers to memory that he had forgotten the name of the book. "It's obvious you're lying," said Shadow. What was wrong with Shady's explanation?

125 and 126 are back to back, right?
