To solve the leg riddle, you determine the combinations of people, cats, and spiders that collectively make up 30 legs. Possible valid combinations can be calculated based on their leg contributions using equations. By systematically testing values for people and cats while adjusting for spider counts, you find multiple potential solutions.
