Let's see how good you are with numbers.you are driving a 50 passenger bus full of people. Since it's full of people, it has 50 passengers.on your first stop all 50 passengers get out,but 25 other people get in. on your second stop 13 people get out but 2 sets of twins (thats 4 people ) and 4 married couples get in(that's 8 more people),1 priest, 6 nuns and 1 choir boy get in.how old is the bus driver.

So, absolutely none of the numbers you threw in have anything at all to do with the answer. As for how old am I, nunya!

The people getting on and off the bus are a diversion. As far as numbers go, the question could be asked and correctly answered after the 11th word...

My dad told me when I was about 10 years old about a similar situation, but he went on and on and on.finally after a few minutes he stopped and I gave him my answer as to how many people were on the bus cause I am a good numbers guy.he then tokd me he wanted to know how many times the bus had stopped.i got it wrong.

I do these kinds of puzzles with my grandkids, changing them up each time. Keeps them on their toes waiting for the question at the end😊

And correct punctuation would have made reading that a little easier, thank you.
