We walk on 2 legs
When we get older (old) some of us will use a cane (so that counts as 3)
A human :- when its young it has two legs; when its old it has 3 legs because of an additional walking stick.. when its realy old it has 6 legs because of the walking stick with four feet or a walking stand with four legs; then it dies without any legs becaue it loses control and energy of its leg.... :) riddle eh?

The answer is a human. Walking on four legs represents a human as a baby when you crawl on your hands and knees, two legs is a human as an adult and three legs is a human as an elder (both of your legs and a walking stick). -rolls eyes and sighs- everyone knows this riddle!!!

There is no riddle of the Sphinx, the question/ riddle is what walks on four legs in the morning, two legs at midday and three legs in the evening. the answer would be a human. as in the morning of someones life they are a baby or toddler, so they would crawl on four legs, at midday it refers to an adult ( who walks on two legs ) while in the evening the human is old and uses a walking stick ( equals three legs ) . ------- There IS a riddle of the Sphinx. Created in Oedipus when Oedipus needed to get to Thebes, he came across a Sphinx blocking his path who asked him this riddle. He gave the correct answer and went on.

The Sphinx (with the head of a woman, body of a lioness, and serpent as a tail) asked the famous riddle, "What walks with four legs in the morning, two in the afternoon, and three in the evening". If a brave man (or woman) answered wrong the Sphinx would kill and eat them. The answer was "man". Why? Because it describes the stages of life. A man crawls when he is a baby, walks as a grown man, and uses a cane when he grows old. ( Hence the 4 legs, 2 legs, then 3 legs.)
