Supposed to be suits, because a king has four suits in a poker deck
A beggar doesn't have suits because he's poor
A man might have two suits because they ain't cheap, I guess

People are buried in suits; at least where I live.
They dont put them on themselves of course, but families go out of their way to make the cadaver as presentable as possible for the funerals anyways.

Or possibly legs. A man has two legs, a king has four legs for their throne, and a beggar needs to sit down constantly to beg.

I've heard the riddle as; what walks on four at birth (as you use your hands and legs to crawl), two in middle age, and three when old(as you use a cane as a third leg) with the answer being humans.
The king riddle always got me as a weird one as it doesn't have one definitive answer

u/totally_not_a_zombie 49m ago
It's obviously pairs of shoes.
Beggar has no shoes. A man has shoes for field work and shoes for civil work, and a king has one pair for coronation, one for wedding, one pair of paw shoes to do steppies on his boyfriend in, and funeral shoes.

Man has two legs because he has two legs
King has four legs because he sits on his ass all day and his chair has four legs
Beggar has no legs and he scoots around on a skateboard begging for change

Alternatively, "suits."
A man has two, his wedding and funeral suits.
A king has four, hearts, clubs, spades and diamonds. (Suits as in card games).
A beggar has none. He's a raggedy bugger.

I asked overview gemini, and it gave me the leg answer then I said the answer should be moneys, and it changed its mind and said the actual answer should be number of E's even though it immediately noticed the numbers don't work. When I pointed that out it said the answer is number of syllables which it also immediately noticed doesn't work.
Maybe we should hold off on calling llms superintelligence.

AI doesnt do logic, so it cant invent these riddles. AI can only piece together words that makes the most sense based on what you ask it and what has historically been asked and answered. It doesnt think, it doesnt understand. You give it a weird ass laddle and it pulls of the soup that fits the laddle.

The answer is pillowcases full of grey beach clay. I know this is the answer because I am a man and I have two pillowcases full of grey beach clay. I was a beggar for a time, and during that time I had zero pillowcases full of gray beach clay.
I am certain if I met a king he would have exactly four pillowcases of grey beach clay.

Always funny those kinds of posts always use the lowest free models and posts "see AI is so dumb" duh you're using the worst model on earth brother.
Asked Claude opus 5.5 :
All seven: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday each end in "day". Wednesday actually has two d's.
The same is true in French: lundi, mardi, mercredi, jeudi, vendredi, samedi and dimanche all contain a d, from the Latin dies.

I see a lot of people who claim dead internet theory because they put Reddit comments into a supposed AI detector and 100% of them indicate AI.
Or… AI is indistinguishable from random Reddit comments because it’s trained on content from sites like Reddit and it just ends up being an amalgamation of what people on Reddit have said before.

u/ChuckCarmichael 1h ago
The answer is that there is no answer. It's a fake riddle designed to look like the Sphinx's riddle in order to confuse people.
None of the proposed answers I've ever seen for this make sense.
Some say it's suits, but a man can have more than two suits.
Some say it's legs, but a man also sits on plenty of chairs with four legs, and most beggars have two legs.
Some say it's movement options in checkers, but "there is no beggar piece, so 0" is dumb. Then the riddle might as well be "A king has four, a man has two, and a 1996 Chevy Impala has zero. What is it?"

Close, the AI just had the wrong language. You see, "man" in Japanese is 人, which has two strokes, "king" in Japanese is 王, which has four strokes, and there's no single word in Japanese that means "beggar".

The ACTUAL answer to this riddle is legs. A man has two legs to stand on as he works all day for the king. The king has four legs because hes sitting on his throne (which has four legs), the beggar has "no leg to stand on" as he is poor with nothing going for him.
