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?

Is the answer --
311312111312?
I love riddles, however, I never know any.

The answer to D_AZN_Z's riddle is this: 312211131221
But sushi kitty is right. The second-last line of D_AZN_Z's riddle should have been 13112221, which means the final answer should have been: 31131211131221.
The key to this riddle is to sound it out. You start with 1.
1
(One one)
11
(two ones)
21
(one two, one one)
1211
(one one, one two, two ones)
111221
And so forth.
Josie&Pussycats- I'm guessing the answer to yours was that the dentist was the only male in the room. If the lawyer and the doctor were women, their names were likely not "John".
Any more?
