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?

Hmmm here a game to play that fit here.

2 players have 11 chips and play alternately.Rirst Player A takes either 1 or 2 objects.Then Player B takes 1 or 2 objects.Continue unitil all the objects have been taken.
The winner is the player at the end of the game who,at the end of the game, has an ODD number of objects-either 5 or 7.

The game call ODDWINS is so tricky that even math professors hadn'tbeen able to find a way to win.So here your chance if you can master this.Your truely the greatest!

One train was traveling at 8 am and the other was traveling at 8 pm(thanks hon!).

As for the spot riddle, I don't understand this line

"i shall put one spots, and two blacks ones."

So I can't try to answer that one.
Player A-2 each turn---2+2+2
Player B-2+2+1

And the total is 11. Player B would win with 5.

Or,
Player A-2+1+2+2
Player B-1+1+1+1

However, I am not sure if this is correct because I am unclear to why this riddle is hard. So I may be looking at it incorrectly.

OK tummey, here goes....

ODDWINS, if Player A has a total of 5 after his 3rd turn...he wins?
