The bus journey riddle.

32 Replies

You're driving a bus from Glasgow to London, there are 5 passengers. At the first stop 6 people get on, and 2 get off.

The next stop has 27 people getting on and only 1 getting off. The next two stops has 4 people getting on an 5 getting off, on each occasion.

Eventually the destination is reached after one more stop when 10 people get off the bus, and 7 get on.

What is the bus drivers name.

I know the answer, but a pity to spoil it. I'll give you a clue - the answer is in the first word of the riddle!

They sometimes call the driver by another name.I think it's a name!

toonamp in reply toKingoftheCocktails

It most certainly is :)

In this particular case it would be your name, as "You're driving a bus from Glasgow to London" ;)
