The answer to the puzzle “What has four legs but only one foot?” is “a bed,” according to Braingle. The riddle’s ambiguity stems from the English language’s naming practises for animate and inanimate objects.
When it comes to animals, a leg is an ambulatory appendage that ends in the foot. Inanimate things, such as chairs, are stated to have ‘legs,’ but separate ‘feet’ are rarely mentioned. As noted in the Efi-Costarica.com Antique Furniture Guide, a bed has both a ‘head end’ and a ‘foot end.’ As a result, a bed that has four ‘feet’ and a ‘foot end’ meets the riddle’s requirements.
