Hence , using both hands and feet . Meaning four . When they can already walk , they use their feet . When they reach the age that they're already having difficulties walking , they use a stick to provide them support . Hence , their feet and the stick , equivalent to three ."

Think there is a Greek or Roman Myth about something like this Odepis Rex I think though I'm not sure on the spelling, He had to answer the question to get into a city.
