Title: Re: whlegs riddle Post by Barukh on Apr 10th, 2004, 11:04pm [smiley=blacksquare.gif][hide] Human being? [/hide][smiley=blacksquare.gif] I think this puzzle is more suitable for "What am I" forum (if it's not already there). |

Title: Re: whlegs riddle Post by towr on Apr 11th, 2004, 7:16am I think you're right (on both counts ;)) Though perhaps one should add ::[hide]aging[/hide]:: to it as well |

Title: Re: whlegs riddle Post by Icarus on Apr 11th, 2004, 6:03pm The more usual form (and I think somewhere on the site already, though as part of thread with more riddles), is: What walks on 4 legs in the morning, 2 legs through the day, and 3 legs in the evening. The answer is (since Barukh has already given it): [hide]man, who crawls as a babe (morning), walks upright through most of life (day), and uses a cane when elderly (evening).[/hide] |

Title: Re: whlegs riddle Post by Icarus on Apr 12th, 2004, 3:40pm Right. I had forgotten that. It amazes me how some obscure facts that I heard only once years ago stick with me, easily recalled, while others that I encounter repeatedly (such as this one) disappear without a trace. Be prepared to remind me of this again! ;) |
