Never read Oedipus, though. I heard it somewhere else.

Yep, that's the riddle of the sphinx. Retold in greek mythology and other mythologies as well. Very very famous and equally as old.

Re: Riddle me this

A bucket is sitting out in the rain. If the wind begins to blow and rain starts falling at an angle, will the bucket fill up faster or slower, or will the rate of filling remain the same?

(a) Faster

(b) Slower

(c) Would fill at the same rate

Re: Riddle me this

Right. C because the 'opening area' is the same.

I'm putting my money down on C.
