This question is more commonly known as the Riddle of the Sphinx, the answer is man, who as a child crawls on all fours, as an adult walks on two feet and as an old man walks with the aid of a cane.

Answer 3

when i left work on friday i closed the window...when i came in today i realised i had jammed a spider in it. It only had 4 legs as there was only half of a spider left. As i tried to pick it up, 2 more of its legs came off, leaving only 2 left. I sellotaped one back on so its now got 3 but i've lost the other leg so i may have to make it a new one out of a paperclip.

Answer 4

Man
baby = 4 legs
adult = 2 legs
old age = 3 legs (aid of walking stick)

Answer 5

YOU indeed, as a toddler, walked on all four; and when you became a little grown up and maybe thats who you are today, you changed to homo-erectus and started on just two. And later on in life, perhaps at age 70-89, and maybe your waist couldn't hold any longer you decided instead of a wheel chair, you settled for a walk stick.
Infant - All Four
After infancy - Just Two
Old and Grey - Walk Stick inclusive(Probably)

This is the Sphinx's riddle, only worded differently.

Answer 7

Ah, the Riddle of the Sphinx. Man crawls on all fours as a baby, walks upright as a man, and walks with the assistance of a cane when he gets old.

Answer 8

That would be a human. He walks with three legs in old age because he uses a cane. I think this is the riddle of the Sphinx.

Answer 9

This riddle, in slightly different language, is over 2000 years old. It's the one Oedipus solved to become king of Thebes and marry the queen - his mother.
