Rashi, on Judg 14:18

“And they on the seventh day before the sun went down said to him: What is sweeter than honey? and what is stronger than a lion? And he said to them: If you had not ploughed with my heifer, you had not found out my riddle.”

“Before sunset. Before the sun descended, as they still had time until nightfall. Plowed with my calf. This is allegorical—if you had not questioned my wife.”
