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?

Okay, here's one that's really easy:

A man was found murdered on Sunday morning. His wife immediately called the police. The police questioned the wife and staff and got these alibis:
The Wife said she was sleeping.
The Cook was cooking breakfast.
The Gardener was picking vegetables.
The Maid was getting the mail.
The Butler was cleaning the closet.

The police instantly arrested the murdered. Who did it and how did they know?

The following sentence is false. The preceding sentence is true. Are these sentences true or false?

The Maid. Mail is not delivered on Sunday's....

they are both the first one is false the 2nd ones true............i think i havent slept much since i started playing

correct cfm!! William, nope.
Here is the answer:

Neither, it's a paradox. If the first is true, then the second must be false, which makes the first false… it doesn't work.
