Jacob had been half asleep all class, really it didn't matter to him... he wasn't allowed to pet it so what was the point in paying attention.

But riddles were fun, so Jacob listened somewhat at this point.

'I go round and round in circles...'

Jacob stared at the sphinx... like a a carousel... or someone who was really dizzy? Maybe both. He was dizzy on a carousel?

'...But always straight ahead...'

A mobile carousel with a dizzy guy on it? Maybe.

'...And never complain...'

A a very obedient mobile carousel with a dizzy person on it.

'...Regardless of where I am led.'

Maybe it wasn't the carousel... maybe it was the person... Some dizzy person goes around in circles... but thinks their going straight... Like a drunk? OOH! They were Drunk!

"Is it a Drunk man?" yes... of course. What else could it be. "Drunk people go around, and around... but they think they're going straight ahead. They never complain about where they're led, cause they don't know where they are in the first place... so what's there to complain about?"

Oh yeah... Go Jacob. So Smart.
