          if you were looking at the bus from the curb side, with it moving left to right, you would see the door. Since all you see are windows you have to be looking from across the street with the bus moving right to left.

            Yes, and add to it that I did not answer that correctly (nor, presumably, did many other adults like me), while 90% of preschoolers did!

              Probably because it's been quite a while since you rode a school bus (assuming you did).

                I thought to myself that there is not enough info to make a determination, however it is the lack of info that actually determined the correct answer in this case. Just proves we can over think things.

                  Pappy,

                  Thanks!

                  Now here I am, a guy who prides himself on his graphic and keen observation abilities... Well, maybe NOT!

                  My thoughts were more towards some kind of optical illusion, and maybe one side of my brain wasn't working all that well. Obviously, my old brain wasn't considering what side of the street I was supposed to be observing from. Just goes to show age and experience isn't necessarily an advantage!

                  Neat test though!
