Riddle: What has 6 legs when it is awake and 4 when it is asleep?
Answer: A person riding a horse.
Explanation:
When awake, the person is riding the horse, so together they have:2 human legs + 4 horse legs = 6 legs.When asleep, the person is off the horse, presumably lying down, and the horse is standing or resting separately:Only the horse's 4 legs are "active"/on the ground = 4 legs visible or "counted."It's a play on perspective and state of activity!
