"Which creature in the morning goes on four feet, at noon on two, and in the evening upon three?" The answer is Man.
This cannot be answered. This question does not make any sense.
There is no riddle of the Sphinx, the question/ riddle is what walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at midday and three legs in the evening. the answer would be a human. as in the morning of someones life they are a baby or toddler, so they would crawl on four legs, at midday it refers to an adult ( who walks on two legs ) while in the evening the human is old and uses a walking stick ( equals three legs ) . ------- There IS a riddle of the Sphinx. Created in Oedipus when Oedipus needed to get to Thebes, he came across a Sphinx blocking his path who asked him this riddle. He gave the correct answer and went on.

Oedipus solved the Sphinx's riddle in the play "Oedipus Rex" by Sophocles. The riddle posed by the Sphinx was, "What walks on four feet in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening?" Oedipus answered correctly with "Man," as he crawls on all fours as a baby, walks on two legs as an adult, and uses a cane in old age. His solution led to the Sphinx's defeat and the liberation of Thebes.

Oedipus solved the Sphinx's riddle in the play Oedipus Rex ("Oedipus the King"). He alone understood that a people-killing Sphinx would pose an apparently unanswerable riddle about people.
The Riddle was famously solved by the character Oedipus in Sophocles' play "Oedipus Rex." The riddle, posed by the Sphinx, asked what walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at noon, and three legs in the evening. Oedipus correctly answered that it represents a human: a baby crawling on all fours, an adult walking on two legs, and an elderly person using a cane. His solution led to the Sphinx's defeat and his rise to power in Thebes.
