weigh 3 in one and 3 in the other:\n\nif they are equal:\nweigh each of the other 2 in one pan each. One will be lighter, voila\n\nIf they are different:\ntake the lighter set of 3, weigh one in one pan and one in the other and hold one aside.  If one is lighter, voila, if they are equal it's the one set aside.\n\nthat's the whole thing in 2 weighings

Probably religious temples. Jesus tried to deal with them, but they're still here. Go figure.\n\nFrom wikipedia:\n"The very first banks were probably the religious temples of the ancient world. In them were stored gold in the form of easy to carry compressed plates. Their owners justly felt that temples were the safest places to store their gold as they were constantly attended, well built and were sacred, thus detering would-be thieves. There are extant records of loans from the 18th Century BC in Babylon that were made by temple priests to merchants."

It depends on the translation you are using.  Based on what I have, the word "gold" is repeated 10-13 times.\n\nPalmer translation:\n  Sura 3 - Imran's Family\n  Seemly unto men is a life of lusts, of women, and children, and hoarded talents of gold and silver, and of horses well-bred, and cattle, and tilth;- that is the provision for the life of this world; but God, with Him is the best resort.     \n\n  Verily, those who misbelieve and die in misbelief, there shall not be accepted from any one of them the earth-full of gold, though he should give it as a ransom.     \n\n  Sura 9 - Repentance or Immunity\n  O ye who believe! verily, many of the doctors and the monks devour the wealth of men openly, and turn folk from God's way; but those who store up gold and silver and expend it not in God's way,- give them glad tidings of grievous woe!     \n\n  Sura 17 - The Night Journey\n  And they say, 'We will by no means believe in thee, until there gush forth for thee a fountain from the earth; or there be made for thee a garden of palms and grapes, and rivers come gushing out amidst them; or thou make the sky to fall down upon us in pieces; or thou bring us God and the angels before us; or there be made for thee a house of gold; or thou climb up into the heaven; and even then we will not believe in thy climbing there, until thou send down on us a book that we may read     \n\n  Sura 18 - The Cave\n  These, for them are gardens of Eden; beneath them rivers flow; they shall be adorned therein with bracelets of gold, and shall wear green robes of silk, and of brocade; reclining therein on thrones;-pleasant is the reward, and goodly the couch!     \n\n  Sura 22 - The Pilgrimage\n  ' Verily, God will make those who believe and do right enter into gardens beneath which rivers flow; they shall be bedecked therein with bracelets of gold and with pearls, and their garments therein shall be of silk, and they shall be guided to the goodly speech, and they shall be guided to the laudable way.     \n\n  Sura 35 - The Angels\n  Gardens of Eden shall they enter, adorned therein with bracelets of gold and pearls; and their garments therein shall be silk; and they shall say, 'Praise belongs to God, who has removed from us our grief; verily, our Lord is forgiving, grateful! who has made us alight in an enduring abode of His grace, wherein no toil shall touch us, and there shall touch us no fatigue     \n\n  Sura 43 - Gilding\n  Unless then bracelets of gold be cast upon him, or there come with him angels as his mates...     \n\n  Dishes of gold and pitchers shall be sent round to them; therein is what souls desire, and eyes shall be delighted, and ye therein shall dwell for aye; for that is Paradise which ye are given as an inheritance for that which ye have done.     \n\n  Sura 56 - The Inevitable\n  And gold-weft couches, reclining on them face to face.   \n\nPickthall translation:  \n\n  Sura 3 - The Family Of Imran\n  14 Beautified for mankind is love of the joys (that come) from women and offspring; and stored-up heaps of gold and silver, and horses branded (with their mark), and cattle and land.     \n\n  And among them there is he who, if thou trust him with a piece of gold, will not return it to thee unless thou keep standing over him.     \n\n  91 Lo! those who disbelieve, and die in disbelief, the (whole) earth full of gold would not be accepted from such an one if it were offered as a ransom (for his soul).     \n\n  Sura 9 - Repentance\n  They who hoard up gold and silver and spend it not in the way of Allah, unto them give tidings (O Muhammad) of a painful doom,     \n\n  Sura 17 - The Israelites\n  93 Or thou have a house of gold; or thou ascend up into heaven, and even then we will put no faith in thine ascension till thou bring down for us a book that we can read.     \n\n  Sura 18 - The Cave\n  31 As for such, theirs will be Gardens of Eden, wherein rivers flow beneath them; therein they will be give
