> suddenly, three come at once?

OK, 3 buses service the same route which has say 5 stops. Say they leave the depot at 15 minute intervals:

Bus 1 leaves station, picks up passengers at 1st stop, a few stragglers miss the bus.

Bus 1 reaches stop 2, not that busy, picks everyone up. Heavy traffic slows it down.Bus 2 leaves depot.


Bus 1 reaches stop 3, lots of people. Bus 2 reaches stop 1 nobody to pick up.

Bus 1 reaches stop 4 after big queue in traffic, a few stragglers miss the bus. Bus 2 reaches stop 2 picks up stragglers. Bus 3 is already on his back due to no pick ups.

Bus 1 reaches stop 5, lot of people, they have been waiting ages. Whilst bus 3 stops, bus 2 and 3 catch up due to short supply of passengers. Thus 3 buses appear at once.

I was going to post something VERY similar to this today and you got there first!

A few other questions I want to know...

Why do kamakazi pilots wear crash helmets?
Why do lethal injection needles need to be sterilised?

This one is something I have got to check out and find an answer for:
Is the rumour true that Alex from Big Brother holds the shotput record for my school?

We can't believe it, wouldn't a shotput just crush him?
