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?

Rutiger went to a party and drank some of the punch. He then left early. Everyone else at the party who drank the same punch were poisoned by the punch and became very sick. No poison was added to the punch after Rutiger got his drink. Why did Rutiger not get sick?

Rutiger was already sick and contaminated the punch?

Well, finally something I can relate to. :) The punch was heavily spiked. As Rutiger only drank some of the punch, as the others partied too hard....they got alchohol poisoning.
Reda you are right!!!!!
Another one:
"Mr Shady?" inquired Shadow. "I am afraid I have some bad news for you. Your brother in law is dead and I have reason to believe he was murdered." "Oh no!" replied Shady. "I just saw Sam a couple of days ago. To tell you the truth though, I am not surprised. Sam did have a big mouth and quite a few enemies. As a matter of fact both of my sisters'husbands and Sam had a big fight over a business deal that turned sour. Then there was a friend of my brother's who loaned Sam a lot of money and never got it back. Another person is my wife's brother who just got out of jail. He accused Sam of framing him. He swore he would get even." As Shady rambled on about Sam's enemies, Shadow read him his rights and arrested him under the suspicion of murder. Why?
THis one is easy.

Shadow never said which brother in law, but Shady obviously knew.
