If there are 500 Rubles to the Pound and 30 Turkish Dinar to the US Dollar, how many people got onto the bus?

That one's easy, cast lvl 5 stealthnicity, and then combine the wrench of eldarmar with the elbow grease.

Surely that would set off the alarm?

23.

If we assume the average man has lost 40,000 Rubles in his life by leaving them in his jeans when he washes them, we can then also assume that at least 14.3% of bus users will find this money when looking through their pockets.

However, if, and only if, there is a cold going around on this day, then 40.59% of bus users will develop this. If we take this percentage, then divide it by the chance of a bus user asking a person who has washed Rubles in their pocket for a tissue, causing him to search through their pockets for one, we can give an estimated Ruble budget of 2,183.433 Rubles.

We then have to add this sum to the percentage chance of someone being an anarchist - and the odds (taken from www.anarchist-stats.com) of an anarchist carrying US Dollars to burn. This gives us a grand total of 2,449,300 Lire.

Goverment statistics show that if an awful lot of anarchists suffer from a cold on a certain day (which we can prove by multiplying the average foot size in Euro measurements by the diameter of the spare wheel of the bus) then it will, in fact, be a sunny day.

Because of this, 1 in 5 people will decide to walk instead. This leaves the 4 in 5 to try and raise the cash (which has already been found in the pockets) and try and get on the bus. However, we can now show that only 1 in 4.553 can afford it, which works out to be 19.

So where does the extra four come from? Well, we now have to consider the social status of the people using the bus. It was proven in 1995 that jean wearers are NOT anarchists, so we know that there are two different kinds of people in the group. We can also show that people who carry tissues in their pockets can also never get colds. We already know that the anarchists have colds from the good weather, so we can easily assume that there is another party who are carrying umbrellas in case it will rain. Two's company and three's a crowd, therefore a crowd, plus the bus driver, makes four, added to the original 19 makes 23.

Is that right?

No, the car window is open; the brick is to incapacitate the driver in the car, you then pull him out of the car semi-dead, and take the car keys, thus driving away with the alam untouched.
