According to the Riddle of the Sphinx:
In Greek mythology, the Sphinx sat outside of Thebes and asked this riddle of all travelers who passed by. If the traveler failed to solve the riddle, then the Sphinx killed him/her. And if the traveler answered the riddle correctly, then the Sphinx would destroy herself. The riddle:
What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?
Oedipus solved the riddle, and the Sphinx destroyed herself.
The solution: 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.

Your standard, average, ordinary man has 2 legs. Although some men may have 1, either due to an accident or he was born with only 1. For future reference, this also applies for women as well. Good luck.
