An empty bus(apart from the driver of course ) drives out of the depot, at the first stop two people get on,
at the second stop five people get on one gets off
at the third stop 3 get off and four get on
at the fifth stop no one gets off 2 get on
at the final sixth stop no one gets on or off

the bus drives back to the depot when examined there is not a single person on board, how?

Don't suppose all the passengers still on board are married, and thus not "single"?

Or indeed, the fact that, there being 9 people on board, there is indeed not a "single" person on board?

Another problem, related to the one set earlier.

A plane can hold enough fuel to travel half way round the world. It has a plentiful supply of gerrycans to syphon off fuel from it's tanks and leave them at drop-off points, but cannot carry this fuel as cargo.

There is only one filling "station" on the globe.

How do you arrange the drop off points to enable the plane to make a complete trip around the world, and what is the most efficient way of doing it (i.e. least flights in preparation)? Oh, and only one plane is used to complete this task.

This is not a trick question.

1. The bus is parked so no driver or conductor
2. I know a bus has no legs

There are 7 girls in a bus.
Each girl has 7 backpacks.
In each backpack, there are 7 big cats.
For every big cat, there are 7 little cats.

Question: How many legs are there in the bus?

where does the train come in?

At the station platform of course!

Frogs can jump 3' in one leap.
On a lily pad in a 7' diameter pond is a frog, dead in the centre.
How many leaps would it take to reach the side?

 

[Trazor]

The frog is dead.

You misread it: the second person closes not just the second locker, but every second locker.

There is only one, second locker in the thousand. The rest have different numbers. first, third, fourth etc etc until you reach a thousand.

I think we need an adjudicator.
