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?

All the windows in your house face south. You look out a window and see a bear walk by.

What colour is the bear ?

White because you live at the north pole.

Jojo, that is my reasoning as well, although really, one could have a house elsewhere that happens to have only south facing windows, I suppose.

Black/Brown. Polar bears only appear white because their fur (which is black or brown) as unusual optical properties which allow it to light as a way of conserving heat.

(Sorry sometimes I have to be a smart alec)

May not be North Pole, would not be polar bear because windowns face south. Would it be brown?

None, I that was Noah.

Wasn't it species of animals?
Did you know that scientists actually studied if all the different species actually could fit in a boat and be attended to by 8 people for so many days.

my bible uses the word "kind" so not sure if it is species or not :), but if it is all dogs would be canine, including wolves etc. and all cat species feline lions, panthers, and housecat ;).
Different scientists have different views on whether they can all fit or not ;).
But.... if you believe in evolution why not just take an ameoba ;)
