Riddle one answer:
The key to understanding the problem is focusing on the right information.
If we assume it is critical to keep track of the number of people getting on and off the bus.......we focus on information that turns out to be unessential. It distracts us from the important information. The answer to the problem is found in the first sentence: YOU are driving the bus, so the color is, of course the color of YOUR eyes.

Riddle two answer:
How many? 3? Wrong, there are 6 !!--no joke. Read it again.
The brain cannot process "OF".
Incredible or what ? Anyone who counts all 6 "F's" on the first go is a genius. Three is normal, four is quite rare. Send this to your friends--it drives them crazy
