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.

What climbs up a hill with 4 legs and comes down a hill with two legs?

An American lawyer and a Nigerian are sitting next to each other on a long flight. The lawyer believes that Nigerians are so dumb that he could put something over on them easily...So the lawyer asks if the Nigerian would like to play a fun game. The Nigerian is tired and just wants to take a nap, so he politely declines and tries to catch a few winks. The American lawyer persists, and says that the game is a lot of fun. I ask you a question, and if you don't know the answer, you pay me only $5; you ask me one, and if I don't know the answer, I will pay you $500, he says. This catches the Nigerian's attention and to keep the lawyer quiet, he agrees to play the game. The lawyer asks the first question. 'What's the distance from The Earth to the Moon?' The Nigerian doesn't say a word, reaches in his pocket pulls out a five-dollar bill, and hands it to the lawyer. Now, it's the Nigerian's turn. He asks the lawyer, 'What goes up a hill with three legs, and comes down with four?' The lawyer uses his laptop and searches all references he could find on the Net. He sends e-mails to all the smart friends he knows, all to no avail. After one hour of searching he finally gives up. He wakes up the Nigerian and hands him $500. The Nigerian pockets the $500 and goes right back to sleep. The lawyer is going nuts not knowing the answer. He wakes the Nigerian up and asks, 'Well, so what goes up a hill with three legs and comes down with four?' The Nigerian reaches in his pocket, hands the lawyer $5 and goes back to sleep.


How had Oedipus become the King of Thebes?

He came from Corinth, and killed King Laius (The current king) on his way away from Corinth. He reached Thebes where a Sphinx laid in wait to ask a riddle to all of the people that showed up to the gate of Thebes. If answered correctly, The plague would be lifted. The riddle was, what walks on 4 legs in the morning, 2 in the daytime, and 3 at night. The answer was Man (4 legs = baby, 2 legs = adult, 3 legs = Elder with cane.) The plague on Thebes was lifted and the people that lived there annointed him King, forgetting about Laius, and thats where the movie starts off.
