Riddling Sphinx: Difference between revisions

 

== Literature ==

* ''[[Percy Jackson & the Olympians|Percy Jackson and The Olympians]]'': When the half-bloods meet a sphinx in the Labyrinth in ''Battle of the Labyrinth'', it tries to administer a multiple-choice standardized test, with mundane trivia questions. Annabeth, who was expecting a riddle that would test her cleverness, is not amused.

* In ''[[Discworld/Pyramids|Pyramids]]'', a sphinx asks Pteppic the [[Riddle of the Sphinx]]. Pteppic nitpicks the metaphor and manages to leave the sphinx confused enough that he can make a quick getaway.
