...and all I can see with the riddle of the Sphinx is...

Which creature walks on four legs in the morning two legs in the afternoon and three legs in the evening?

The answer…
Man walks on 4 legs in the morning (crawling as a baby), 2 legs in the afternoon (walking upright throughout most of life), and 3 legs in the evening (using a cane in old age).


...so I’d have to say 626 because ‘man’ is the answer that Oedipus gave...


...I know it’s wrong but....
FINALLY

You got it! You identified both words, and their connection, so Ammi's the winner
