A really funny trick
Read this text through ONCE and ONLY ONCE then answer the question. DO NOT READ THE QUESTION AT THE END BEFORE THE TEXT OR IT WILL SPOIL THE TRICK.
Say this considerably quickly to your friends. You can make up the numbers. Not too quickly though.
A bus collects 20 people and leaves.
It stops. 6 people get off and 3 get on.
It stops again and 4 people get off and 7 people get on.
It stops again and 1 person gets off and 1 person gets on.
It stops again and 5 people get off and 2 people get on.
It stops again and 7 people get off and 2 people get on.
It stops again and 3 people get off and 1 person gets on.
It stops again and 4 people get off and 7 people get on.
It stops again and 1 person gets off and 1 person gets on.
It stops again and 5 people get off and 2 people get on.
It stops again and 7 people get off and 2 people get on.
It stops again and 3 people get off and 1 person gets on.
It stops again and 4 people get off and 3 people get on.
Highlight below.
Q: How many stops did the bus make?

Highlight for answer:
|It makes only one stop, because it never starts again after the first stop.|

Re: A really funny trick
Make the text GAINSBORO not TRANSPARENT because us IE users can see transparent text without highlighting.

Re: A really funny trick
LOL, I remember this one.
If you are reading this, please read to the end, because if you don't you won't know what's at the end. Don't just skip to the end though otherwise you won't be able to read the middle, which is most important. Now you must be wondering why you just read all that, the reason is you may have not noticed something, read it again and see if you notice it this time

No. It's my main browser. And I'm not going to open this page up in Firefox just so I can't see the text. Here's another solution: MAKE. THE QUESTION. GAINSBORO.

Re: A really funny trick
Why would a bus collect leaves?
