How smart are you? (a riddle)

Published by linda at 3:42 pm under funny

Without using a calculator. You’re driving a bus from London to Milford Haven (Wales).
– In London, 17 people get on the bus.
– In Reading, 6 people get off, 9 people get on.
– In Swindon, 2 people get off, 4 people get on.
– In Cardiff, 11 people get off, 16 people get on.
– In Swansea, 3 people get off, 5 people get on.
– In Carmarthen, 6 people get off, 3 people get on.

The bus then pulls into the Milford Haven bus depot … what is the name of the bus driver?

 Answer: (in spoilervision - highlight to see it)
Duh. Your name. Read it again… you’re driving a bus…

Now, don’t ruin the joke by posting the answer, k? Thanks. :)

    like you think a blonde Brit could even get past ‘In London 17 people get on a bus?’
    It is akin in maths at school where they say it takes 5 men to dig a hole,…………. that is as far as it ever got with me! what hole/ how big? who gives a flying ..????? lol

    Rotfl. I did get it, but only because #3 fraccy child has taken a shine to that kind of joke and he tries to catch me all the time. I’ve gotten used to paying close attention so as not to be foiled by an 11 year old too often.

    (Note I said too often. He does get me once in a while.)

    it all depends on your name it said your driving a bus so it will be your name
    eg:if your name is max then the bus driver is called max if your name is pippy the space dog then the bus driver has a freaky name.
