Answer This ... without using paper and pencil ... You are the bus driver. At your first stop, you pick up 29 people. On your second stop, 18 of those 29 people get off, and at the same time 10 new passengers arrive. At your next stop, 3 of those 10 passengers get off, and 13 new passengers come on. On your fourth stop 4 of the remaining 10 passengers get off, 6 of those new 13 passengers get off as well, then 17 new passengers get on. Now, without re-reading this word problem, answer this ... What color are the bus driver's eyes? Post your answer now, on this blog. If you had to resort to using pen and paper after all, please note that when you post your answer. Then you may look at the correct answer HERE.

Brown!
Marg, you are a thinker! Congratulations!
Blue!
And no, I didn't read Marg's first. ;)
Hazel? "I" am the bus driver - so my eyes are hazel
Two more thinkers, Finn and Sally. Interesting that we've had different responses ... brown, blue, and hazel ... yet every answer is correct. Way to go, everybody!
Ah, that is easy. Brown. As you've noted before, I read very carefully.
