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?

No neither answer is right. In fact, this is a type of trick or question shown how it's done. If anyone wants the answer, just say so. Thanks!
OK, let me give another one which is neat, then I'll not post another until they're answered or I'm asked to give the answers. Here's another,
A man wanted to enter an exclusive club, but didn't know the password required. He waited by the door and listened. A club member knocked on the door and the doorman said, "twelve", and the member replied, "six", and was let in. A second member came to the door and the doorman said, "six", and the member replied, "three", and was let in. The man thought he had heard enough and walked up to the door and knocked. The doorman said, "ten", and the man replied, "five", but was not let in. What should he have said?

Here's one that too many think is a trick question and has no answer, but they are wrong. There IS a correct answer, so don't just guess, explain your choice - WHICH CAME FIRST, THE CHICKEN OR THE EGG?
