Caption: Who would solve the mysterious Riddle of the Sea Sphinx?
{Meridien is a sea sphinx, sitting on a rock in the ocean}
Caption: "What goes on eight legs at dawn, on eight legs at noon, and on eight legs at dusk?"
Caption: None other than... OCTOPUS REX.
{Oliver is an octopus with a crown}
Caption: Sadly, nobody else in the class voted to perform Oliver's adaptation of Sophocles.

The author writes:

A Sea Sphinx, of course, has the head of a woman and the body of a sea lion.
