Puzzle: An Exciting Bus Ride

Update: Monday, 30. March 2026

Imagine for a moment that you are a bus driver. In your bus there are 27 male and 4 female passengers. You set off and at the first stop, 11 men and one woman get off. 12 more young women get on, and on top of that a small cute dog wants to come along!

At the next stop, a chubby passenger gets off and 2 ladies get on. The little dog also jumps off the bus! Barely arriving at the next stop, 7 girls get on who are arguing loudly. 4 men leave the bus.

At the next stop, 3 women and 4 men get off, 2 boys get on. The journey continues and finally another 15 passengers get on, 9 male and 6 female! 2 men leave the bus.

At the next stop, 6 new people board the bus, but also 7 passengers get off. Finally, 9 small children get on.

So, and now the question: How old is the bus driver?

 

 

 

Tip: This puzzle is particularly well suited for reading aloud to a friend. They will try to keep track of more and more passengers and will be very puzzled by the question at the end.
