Works on my machine:
The riddle "A man has two, a king has four, and a beggar has none. What is it?" appears to lack a single definitive solution based on available sources, potentially designed as an engagement prompt rather than a traditional riddle with one answer. One source describes it as "an engagement farming troll" with no intended solution.
The two most commonly proposed answers from social media discussions are:
- "Suits": A typical man owns two suits (e.g., one for weddings and one for funerals), a king "has" four suits (referring to the four suits in a deck of cards, each containing a king card), and a beggar has none. This received 259 upvotes in a Reddit thread. It also appears in Facebook comments.
- "Legs": A man stands on two legs, a king rides a horse or sits on a throne with four legs, and a beggar has none (either sitting on the ground or depicted as legless/no legs to stand on). This received 184 upvotes in the same Reddit thread and is mentioned in multiple X posts and another Reddit post on AI fails.
Less popular suggestions include "money" (a meme-like response counting "money" instances, seen in X posts), "letters" (mismatched word letter counts), "bedposts" (bed sizes), and humorous ones like "bitches" or "Pokemon cards." No traditional media sources provide a clear origin or consensus, and riddle databases yield no matches.
