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?

I thought it wasn't possible to have 5 odd numbers and end up with an even. ODD+ODD=EVEN. So...I am very stumped. Would you consider sending me the answer, it is driving me nuts, I can not figure it out.

LilRach, WRONG! Yay, finally I have a harderish riddle. What's up with the "bump" thing?

Jul-13-2005 10:52

Bump brings a topic to the top. It means the bumper wants this thread to stay active.

Autumnsprings: Put 5 chickens in the first five boxes and put the 5th box in the sixth box.

Alternatively pop round to my good friend Dr. Moreau and I amsure he'll be able to meld 25 chickens into six chickens with multiple beaks etc. for you.

LOL. That works. The answer I was actually looking for was to put 5 chickens in each of 5 boxes. Then, put all 5 boxes into a larger box.
