The Sphinx's Riddle

Jason frowned as he heard the request. He was not great at thinking, but he did have some experience with riddles. He wanted to ask something, but the Sphinx stopped him. 

"You have three chances to give the right answer. So far, the progress you have shown to reach this place is commendable, and I would like to see if you are worthy enough to use my power."

"If I deem you worthy, then you will be able to use it freely, and with no restriction. I will also help you to find a way and fuse that other two with you", she said as she turned her head towards her left.

Jason looked in the same direction and saw an Ape and a Minotaur quarrel with each other. They were fighting like children over some fruit, and the Sphinx sighed.

"And here I am just to baby-sit them", she muttered as she looked back at him. The next moment, she transformed into a beautiful woman, and she looked nothing like the Beast she was.
