Well, since no one has created a new riddle, I'll create an easy one to get things moving again.
A box without hinges, key or lid yet inside a golden treasure is hid?
What is it?

Here's a fun riddle (I know it's not my turn, but it has been a while):
Of three prisoners in a certain jail, one had normal vision, the second had only one eye, the third was totally blind. The jailor told the prisoners that, from three white hats and two red hats he would select three and put them on the prisoners' heads. None could see what color hat he wore. The jailor offered freedom to the prisoner with normal vision if he could tell what color hat he wore. (To prevent a lucky guess, the jailor threatened execution for any incorrect answer).
The first prisoner could not tell what hat he wore. Next the jailor made the same offer to the one-eyed prisoner. The second prisonor could not tell what hat he wore either.
The jailor did not bother making the offer to the blind prisoner, but he agreed to extend the same terms to that prisoner when he made the request. The blind prisoner said - "I do not need to have my sight; From what my friends with eyes have said, I clearly see my hat is___________ !"

Um, it's been so long since I read that riddle I've completely forgotten the answer. I think you're right. Pose a riddle, sir!

Ok here goes:
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 murderer. Who did it and how did they know?

I'm afraid that's a swing and a miss on both counts. Trust me, you'll roll your eyes a little when you figure it out

It was the cook; she cooked the man. Probably wrong.

I'm afraid that's incorrect. I threw down a hint since this has gone on for a week or so. HINT: You can tell based on the accounts written down which of the people are lying. Timing is everything.

'Twas the maid. The mail is not delivered on Sunday.

I am the beginning of sorrow, and the end of sickness. You cannot express happiness without me, yet I am in the midst of crosses. I am always in risk, yet never in danger. You may find me in the sun, but I am never out of darkness.
