School Bus Math

(Logic/Math Problem)

First, I will tell you a short story. You may read it as many times as you like and for as long as you like. Next you will be asked a question which you must answer without going back to the story. Get it? Got it? Good!!


Story: You're driving a yellow school bus. When you start out, the bus is empty, but at the first stop you pick up 5 kids. At the next stop you pick up 3 more children, but one child feels sick and leaves the bus. On the third and final bus stop, 4 kids get on the bus, but 2 children leave. The remaining children are dropped off at school.



Question: Try to answer this question without rereading the story. What is the bus driver's first name?

Answer: So, did you figure out the trick answer yet? The answer is whatever your first name is. The story said you are driving the bus.
