I'm working on a campaign that has the player meet a creature pretending to be a sphynx and ask riddles of the players.

The trick is that that creature is both not that smart and thinks he's very clever. They way past him is to praise him for being so smart that he agrees to let the adventurers go

What are some good 'bad' riddles to ask ?

So this creature likes to imagine himself a sphinx? I would just give simple riddles, and have it get frustrated if they say the riddle is too easy. Then hit them with a harder one and when they say that it's harder, have it be pleased.

It's a criosphynx wearing a wig to cover his horns and look like an androsphynx.
