New Take on an Old Riddle by Saint

January 3rd, 2008 10:16 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: And so the Sphinx asked, "What has 4 legs in the morning, 2 in the afternoon, and 3 at night?" Most people know the answer. Document 3 seperate items or animals, one with 4 legs, one with 2 legs, and one with 3 legs at the appropriate times of day--none of which can be a human being.

For this task, I chose to go through a day at school and note all the things that could fit this riddle. By the end of the day I had a good list of things, and after a little editing, my answer to the riddle was this:
For four legs in the morning, my chair in earlybird English. For the two legs in the afternoon I chose a freshmen's rolling backpack. And finally the three in the evening was a football player practicing.

Hello! Humans are animals after all!

It's the last sentence of the task, that says none of the items can be humans. (Probably because the traditional answer to the riddle is a person.)

CRAP!
