Riddles - Judgment - 21-12-2005
Ill go with my dads diy tables on that one. It starts with 4 legs then it breaks and only has 2 then he tries to fix it and it ends up with only 3 ^-^

A person. Baby crawls on 4 'legs', an adult walks on 2, and an old person uses a cane to walk (thus 3 'legs'). Oh yeah baby, 3 in a row.

SR-Faulkie, you are the man. Interesting fact: The "greater than God" one Was given to lots of collage students and preeschoolers. The pre people got it right 95% of the time, while the Harvards got more like 10%. lol

Thanks Yami Kami!
And that is very strange, I wonder how the pre-schoolers understood it...

Hee hee. Ooh, burn. The 4, 3, and 2 legs one was actually asked by a sphinx to a hero in an old greek story. It went something like, um, "What walks on 4 legs in the morning, 2 legs in the afternoon, and 3 legs in the evening?"
I didn't get the 3 legs for awhile, but then I realized the guy was using a cane. :$

yeah, but the morning afternoon evening thing is really harsh
Riddles - Yami Kami - 22-12-2005
True, true. Back then the whole "analogies for life" thing was probably pretty hot. Still is today, for some people. Plus, the sphinx just wanted the guy to screw up so she could eat him. Ha ha ha...

The pre schoolers probably told it in a way they can actually comprehend, or their brains must work differently.
my riddle:
what travels faster than light, you cant see it, and it has no shape or form.
i think my riddle is good
