Man. It's the famous Riddle of the Sphinx--man walks on all fours as a baby, on two legs in the middle of his life, and as an old man, he needs a cane to walk.

Man. This allegory known as the Riddle of the Sphinx encapsulates a man's life into a day. In the morning (childhood), he crawls on all fours, in the afternoon (adulthood), he walks on two legs, and in the evening (old age) he uses a cane -- his third leg.

What has four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon and three legs in the evening?

A man! You see, he has four legs in the 'morning' because he's a baby crawling, two in the 'afternoon' because he walks normally most his life, and three in the 'evening' because he needs a cane! Oh, what if he was a quadraplegic? Hmm... didn't think of that...

Don't worry if you didn't get that one... That one was so difficult it even stumped the sphinx!!!

the human life cycle: baby (four in the morning), adult (two in the afternoon), elderly person (three in the evening because of the cane).

Man through our stages in life. We crawl as children, walk upright as adults and walk with a cane as the elderly.
