I was riding a jeepney to SM one day and out of boredom, observed my co-passengers: Four women, two ladies, two couples (boyfriend and girlfriend), a husband and a wife with their two kids (son and daughter), and another two ladies with a girl on their lap each. Now, I've got a question: How many people were in the jeepney?
Post your answers and let the world know how smart you are. I might just give away a prize. Hehe.

4 women + 2 ladies + (2 couples x 2) + 4 (husband and a wife with their 2 kids) + another 2 ladies + JP TALKER + driver = 18
ReplyDeleteAll in all, there are 18 people in the jeepney. How can I claim my prize? ^_^
Hi, Miss Vicki! Thanks for dropping by on my blog. Your answer is wrong though. You still have a chance to make it right, before somebody else does. God bless!
ReplyDeletewith deduction i can say that there are only 5 males in the jeepney including the driver and assuming there is no "conductor" or the driver has a conductora :-), that means 1 woman
ReplyDeletethen i would say that there is 1 girlfriend, 1 wife, and 1 daughter assuming that one of the couples are you and debbei which means definitely she will not have a child on her lap so that leads to another pair of female maybe mother with a child sitting on her lap that add up to a total of:
11 all in all
hehehehe, kuyaw kaau managhap
The answer is 20. Here's why:
ReplyDelete4 women
2 ladies
2 couples
1 husband & 1 wife with 1 son & 1 daughter
2 ladies with 2 on each of their lap
You...the narrator
And the Driver
That's correct, OhYeah! I will be contacting you privately for your prize. Congratulations! :)
