Title: Old psychological riddle
Post by: skip on September 28, 2006, 09:41:06 PM
You're driving a bus. There are 12 passengers on the bus. At the first stop, 6 passengers get off, at the second stop, 3 more passengers get off, and at the third stop, 2 more passengers get off but 3 more passengers get on. What are the color of the bus driver's eyes?

Hint: Re-read the first sentence over.

[size=0pt]Hazel, they're my eyes.[/size] Quote this.

EDIT - (quote it, again)

[size=0pt]The hint tells you to re-read the first sentence. The answer to this riddle is your own eye color because the first sentence states that you are driving the bus, and the question asks the color of the drivers eyes. The rest is simply unneeded filler, obviously to throw you off.[/size]

Are you seriously explaining something that obvious? ...

You actually ruined it for me before I had time to really think about it. My eyes wandered down before I really thought about it, and I saw your first sentence telling me the hint. Thank you for ruining it.

It was small but someone edited it big. So thank whoever did that, not me. And to whoever did do it, please do not edit my posts. Thanks.
