me: "I'm prepared to answer your riddles three!"
sphinx: "oh, you knew about the riddles three?"
me: "yes , you're a sphinx, it's a rather well-known thing that I gotta answer three questions"
sphinx: "oh wait did I just waste the first question?"
me: "hmm, that depends on updog"
sphinx: "what's updog?"

@lea my tabletop party did this to a sphinx once. they played the sphinx like a goddamn fiddle.
they get to a sphinx and just stare at it. the sphinx gets fed up and asks "what'd you come here for? just to stare at me?"
they say "we came here to enter, we did not come here just to stare at you"
the sphinx goes "alright, i was getting worried. now, answer my riddles three and the door shall open to-"
they say "but we already answered them"
the sphinx then commits the fatal mistake of asking "when?"
the party cheerfully answers "now"
