        I remember when I was a kid, pronouncing his name "sphinx" and getting laughed at by my older brother.

        Education is extremely important.

          @horace When I look at it, that is how I would pronounce it. How is it supposed to be pronounced?

            @taiwan_girl Like "pink" with an "s" at the start and end. My mistake was the "f" sound in sphinx.
