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 poisoned the punch before drinking it, but made sure he took the antidote earlier in the night.

Was the car a convertible?

Yes Majandra it is a convertible!!!!! Reda, there was no gunpowder in the car.

Bryola, you are just smarter then the rest of us. I don't know the answer.

Another:
The day before yesterday Scheming Suzie was nine years old. Next year she will be 12. How is this possible?

Poison sinks to the bottom? Rudiger did not stir the punch before drinking it.

Bryola: If the punch contained frsh fruit it is possible that the fruit went off in the heat of the room after rutiger left.

Since there are so many possible answers, I'll just hafta give the intended one now. The poison was in the icecubes, which were still frozen early in the night.

Bryola - Ohh.
jstkdn - Yay me! Also, is Susie 12 or 11 next year?

Two horses, a stallion and a donkey, were stolen from a local farm. Two sets of tracks lead off a nearby cliff. Both horses were found alive in a market several towns over. How is this possible?

Hint: they wear the same size horseshoes.

Easy. They were walked to the cliff and then there feet were muffled with sacking which meant hey left no tracks.
