O good one!

Is it a human being? Because when a baby, he/she crawls on all four, as a child and an adult, walks on two, and as an old person, walks with a stick, adding an extra to two legs, which makes it three?

Bilingualdiva. I don't know about space, it might be I suppose.
My answer is a hole. When you dig a hole, the more soil you take out the bigger it gets, the more soil you add the smaller it gets.

Question Re: Riddles - Riddles & Answers ONLY!

Right on Manuela... you got it..
let's see yours...
1. a table
2. a zipper
3. a kite or a car or a pony tail??? I'm really guessing here.

I do a lot of riddles with my high school kids... but the adults in the evening are the ones who really love them.... for them I save the more mature ones...

Riddle: A man is found hanging from the center of a room... there is only a door , a window and absolutley no furniture... there is a puddle of water under the man.... how did he hang himself???

The answer is a person. Babys crawl on all fours, then when there older they walk on two legs, when there old they walk with a cane.
