A HUMAN ... CRAWLS AS A BABY WALKS WITH 2 LEGS WHEN GROWING UP AND WALKS WITH 3 WHEN OLD! LOL
The riddle of the sphinx is: what walks on 4 legs in the morning, 2 in the afternoon, and3 in the evening? The answer is MAN - Walks on 4 legs as an infant 2 legs as an adult and 2 legs + a cane in the elderly years.
Oedipus answers the sphinx's riddle. The sphinx had been killing people who couldn't answer it, and, since she was in the road into Thebes, anyone trying to get into Thebes was being killed, since no one could answer it. The riddle was: "What walks on four legs in the morning, two at noon, and three at night?" The answer was: "Man. He crawls (4) as a baby, walks (2) as an adult, and uses a cane (3) in his old age."
The riddle describes a person who uses a cane or walking stick for support. The "three legs" refer to the two human legs and the cane, while "walking up a hill on 2 legs" indicates that the person is walking upright, using the cane as an extra support.
This is my favorite: What walks on 4, then 2, then 3 things? a Man baby crawls walks on two feet then walks on two feet with a cane, as an old man. heres another one: trick your friends. Simon says : touch your nose HA! Were playing <place name here> says! 3: hope this helps!
Depends on which one. The most common is: "What walks on 4 legs in the morning, 2 in the evening, and 3 at night?" , in which the answer is: A person. 4 legs as a baby, 2 as an adult, and 3 meaning an old person with a cane.
A baby walks (crawls) with 4 legs + arms, a man walks with 2 legs, and an old man walks with 2 legs and 1 can (3).
an old man because when it is a baby it walks on 4 legs than it grows up and walks on 2 legs than he gets old an walks on 2 legs and than uses a walking stick so that adds up to 3.
a human when a baby it crwals on all fores when adult on to leges and when it old it has 2 leges and a cane
a baby crawls on four legs, then a boy walks on two legs and then an old man walks on three legs because he has a cane
The first record of the Riddle of the Sphinx is attributed to Euripides, but probably comes from earlier Greek mythology. It asks, "What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?" The answer is, "A man, who crawls on all fours as a baby, walks on two legs as an adult, and walks with a cane in old age."
The answer to this riddle is a person—they crawl on all fours as a baby in the morning, walk on two legs during adulthood in the afternoon, and may need a cane in old age in the evening, representing three legs.
Human being.Infant crawls on "all fours".Adult walks on two legs.Elderly adds a cane.
I think he only crawls on the floor.I might be wrong.
An animal that walks on four legs is called a quadruped.
When he is born, he crawls (walks on 4) When he grows up, he stands and walk (walks on 2) When he gets old, he needs a cane (walks on 3) Is that right????
The riddle of the sphinx is: what walks on 4 legs in the morning, 2 in the afternoon, and3 in the evening? The answer is MAN - Walks on 4 legs as an infant 2 legs as an adult and 2 legs + a cane in the elderly years.
The Sphinx (with the head of a woman, body of a lioness, and serpent as a tail) asked the famous riddle, "What walks with four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening". If a brave man (or woman) answered wrong the Sphinx would kill and eat them. The answer was "man". Why? Because it describes the stages of life. A man crawls when he is a baby, walks as a grown man, and uses a cane when he grows old. ( Hence the 4 legs, 2 legs, then 3 legs.)
