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?

Close BadAss but not quite. The question is "Which path would your sister tell me to take?"

You would then do the opposite. The truthful sister would truthfully report that her sister would recommend the sucky evil death path. The lying sister would lie and say that her sister would recommend the same one. Either way, doing the opposite keeps you safe.

Here's a good one. A man walks into a lawyer's office and is invited to take a seat in the law office's library while he waits for his meeting. While he is there he browses the shelves and notices an odd set of law books there. It is a two volume set, the binding of the first volume indicates that it covers topics from A-M and the second volume indicates that it covers topics from N-W. There is no volume for X-Y-Z. However, when the man reads the title of the set, he understands why there should be no volume for X-Y-Z. Why?

I pulled this one of f the net.

A certain crime is punishable if attempted; but not punishable if committed. What is the crime?

Hmmm two law riddles:

My guess to Sherlock's X-Y-Z riddle -
I would assume the volumes are American and deal with state laws. If the books are organized by states, then there would be no need for an X-Y-Z volume as there are no US States beginning with the letters X, Y, or Z.


As for Charlie's "punishable if attempted; but not punishable if committed" -
Suicide.

Another one...

A guy comes back home and witnesses a drama. The floor is wet and all covered with pieces of broken glass. At that moment he realizes that his two beloved roommates, Justin and Muriel, died. How's that?

Not only that, but he probably had to flush the corpses down the toilet ... well if they were goldfish that is...

Poor Justin and Muriel... They probably didn't even remember what they'd done to deserve such a terrible fate.
