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?

Correct Mad One. :) YAY!
Another easy one:
Granny Smith boarded the last car of a passenger train to find every seat occupied. She set her luggage down just as the train was passing the "Soul-Ace Hotel". Granny walked forward through the train at the steady speed of 1.5. mph. An half hour later, Granny reached the front of the train. Still unable to find a seat she headed back to her luggage, walking at the same speed as before. When she reached her luggage, they were passing City Hall which is 10 miles from the "Soul-Ace Hotel." How fast was the train moving?

here's an easy one:
Imagine you're a bus driver. At your first stop, 7 people get on the bus. At the second stop, 2 get off and 5 get on. At the third stop, half of those on the bus depart. At the fourth stop, another 3 get off and 6 get on. At the fifth stop, all but 4 people disengage. At stop six, the number of people equalling the square root of 64 get on. What's the bus driver's name?
