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?

Genius! Lady Grey is a lady killer!...um.. not the the sleuth way either...and I guess it would actually be a man killer...
Nevermind.
I thought this one was kind of good:
How can two people step on one piece of paper so that they can not touch each other without stepping off the paper?

By putting it under a door and standing on either side.

Here's one for you P. Rockwell How do you push a quarter through a ring that's worn on your finger.
Note: The ring is very small in size.

Sorry everyone, but I didn't word it right. Naners your answer could have worked for the way I worded it but that's not correct. Herre, I need to word it differently: >>> If you stand a ring up on it's side on a smooth surface, then lay a quarter (.25 cents) down flat on that smooth surface in front of the ring, how do you push that quarter through the ring? Remember the ring is small and the band solid.
