for the first question:

answer my own riddle: sounds like someone who will take things head on/likes to take charge. so metal and fire do make sense

trick the sphinx: air is mischievous so it makes sense here, it could also be quick-witted water.

tell the sphinx all possible answers: earth, metal, water, wood make sense for me here. all possible answers could fall under hard-work, patience to try all of them, composure and fluidity to think of those answers and a methodical/organized way (trying out everything) of working through the problem.

eventually get it right: this also sounds like an earth trait and wood trait because it could be hard work + patience. and it could also makes sense for water because its random?
