What has four legs in the morning,
Two in the afternoon,
and three in the evening?

Man

crawls on all fours as a baby

walks on two legs during most of his life

Uses a cane during old age

But he is talking about the time of day, not stages of life.

Homer used the times of day as a metaphor for the different stages of life.

They are IN the ship


EDIT: There is a box with no lock or key, but golden treasure inside, what is it?

OMG that would work, but not the answer

Isn't riddles only supposed to have one answer that is correct? Strange if it has several...

All people are cut in half? So they aren't single... they are a half.

It is a submarine, they are in the ship

I was on Subs, we called it a boat, but it was refered to as a Navy Warship in comms. So then, what would you call the minisub on a submarine?

The sphinx riddled it to Oedipus and he got it right so the sphinx killed himself and the town was so happy that they offered him the newly widowed queen as a bride.

a sub-sub. My answer was abusing his use of the prepositions. All the people were in the boat, not on it. If they were they would be dead.

edit: double post, my bad.

While true but the way the riddle is worded it assumed "at this instant" rather than "this is how it always is and can't be any other way". If the latter were true then even the answer that was provided to us would be wrong.

corn stalks
