  1. It’s theoretically multiple choice. The ’finger’ can point to one of three spots. If you move to beneath ’pizza’, that’s considered right and SPHINX yields to your superior knowledge. I have no idea why this answer is considered correct, but then, that’s why it’s one of the most enduring mysteries of the ancient world.

    Was this a multiple choice question? It looks like even if you get it wrong, you still get the money. Like those bankers in front of the treasury select committee.

  2. This looks like a hierocosphinx, a bird-headed one. Although that stately coat makes him look a little like Sam the eagle from The Muppets.
