The mystery of Sphinx

Source: Google

This is a very old Greek puzzle and can be googled easily, but worth sharing.

Problem:

In Greek mythology, the sphinx sat outside the Thebes and asked all the

travelers a question, if they didn’t answered it correctly, The Sphinx used

to kill them. And if answered correctly, the Sphinx will destroy itself.


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 sphinx destroyed itself.
