But there are more than one possible answer(s) for (c) and (e). If you can identify it, I give that person an extra point to the original 2 points. Meaning the person gets three. -

2835
Integrate 2835 you will get 2835X + c -
The answer is Service 38 for goodness sake! When you board it, you'll see the ''Service 38'' handwriting on the driver on top for those who do not know.Originally posted by bus555:1. What is SBS594D former perm Service?
The former perm service can't be found at Sgwiki but can be found inside the bus itself.

OK, after a few days of argument over the answers (especially some who were talking about SBS 2835X), here's the suggested model answers:Originally posted by TWS4793:Question: Spot the odd one out in the following lists, then give a suitable description of the remaining sets by expressing your answer in sets.
[2 points per part question]
a) SBS 2835X SBS 3732C SBS 7434L SBS 9684T
b) SBS 0388H SBS 1985C SBS 2744A SBS 3792D
c) TIB 0434P TIB 0442R TIB 0472D TIB 1062Y
d) TIB 0484U TIB 0595H TIB 0872H TIB 1034D
e) SBS 3776B SBS 9145H TIB 0438D TIB 0465A
a) Odd one out: SBS 2835X
{SBS 3732C, SBS 7434L, SBS 9684T} = {x : x Buses passing by YMCA}
Hint: Deployment and Route
Reason: Notice that:
SBS 2835X: 156 HGDEP
SBS 3732C: 502 SLBP
SBS 7434L: 7 BNDEP
SBS 9684T: 64 HGDEP
If you look up at the Transitlink Guide (latest revision is 2007), you will notice that Service 7, 64 and Express 502 all ply routes that involve passing by YMCA. Service 156 does not (even though one of you posted somewhere a picture of SBS 2835X on Service 64). So, SBS 2835X is obviously the odd one out.
b) Odd one out: SBS 0388H
{SBS 1985C, SBS 2744A, SBS 3792D} = {Buses that converted their ads at around the same time from Kraft to Moo}
Hint: Advertisments (Past and Present)
Reason: The ad change had just taken place. Notice that all four in the set are having my favourite ad (Moo) . However, three out of the four had ad changes in a similiar way. One of them did not. The bus is none other than my favourite Merc OAC, SBS 0388H .
To be continued -
c) Odd one out: TIB 0434P
{TIB 0442R, TIB 0472D, TIB 1062Y} = {x : x Buses that go to Shenton Way}
Hint: Deployment and Route
Reason: Same thing as (a). Notice that:
TIB 0434P: 857 WLDEP
TIB 0442R: 970 WLDEP
TIB 0472D: 700/700A WLDEP
TIB 1062Y: 700/700A WLDEP
Some of you gave simple answers such as, "oh, TIB 1062Y is the odd one out because it's a bendy...". That's a correct answer and I awarded him points. But well, if you're smart to know, three of the four abovementioned buses go to Shenton Way. Only one does not. It's TIB 0434P. It goes to Temasek Avenue, so it's the odd one out.
d) Odd one out: TIB 0872H
{TIB 0484U, TIB 0595H, TIB 1034D} = {SMRT Buses with orange EDS}
Hint: Physical properties of bus
Reason: Someone thought that he/she saw TIB 0872H with a red EDS, so I came out with this question. It should not be difficult since news of the respective physical properties of the bus, most notably the bright orange EDS, was leaked out. One of you got the answer correct.
e) Odd one out: SBS 3776B
{SBS 9145H, TIB 0438D, TIB 0465A} = {x : x Buses that go to WRI}
Hint: Deployment and Route
Reason: Again some people may think that SBS 9145H is the odd one out. Well, it's again not wrong to say that it's the odd one out. But, think again. Notice that:
SBS 3776B: 24 AMDEP
SBS 9145H: 168 AMDEP
TIB 0438D: 858 WLDEP
TIB 0465A: 950 WLDEP
Services168, 858 and 950 ply to WRI. One of the answers is obviously out. It' SBS 3776B. It's route does not involve WRI - it's involved in a Changi Airport route instead.
Well, you now know more about deployments and their routes and other things you need to know about the respective buses. The next one (similiar one but modified) will be coming up soon. Stay tuned! -
u can also say 0442R is the odd one out, cos the rest all go to Marina and you can also say 0434R is odd cos the rest depart from Bukit Panjang.. there are so many answers to your questions.. And PLS DO NOT USE Maths any more..Originally posted by TWS4793:c) Odd one out: TIB 0434P
{TIB 0442R, TIB 0472D, TIB 1062Y} = {x : x Buses that go to Shenton Way}
Hint: Deployment and Route
Reason: Same thing as (a). Notice that:
TIB 0434P: 857 WLDEP
TIB 0442R: 970 WLDEP
TIB 0472D: 700/700A WLDEP
TIB 1062Y: 700/700A WLDEP
Some of you gave simple answers such as, "oh, TIB 1062Y is the odd one out because it's a bendy...". That's a correct answer and I awarded him points.

Next time he use maths just shoot one differentiation or intregration question to him. Not enough still can use Vectors, differential equations, Binomial...... .Originally posted by lemon1974:u can also say 0442R is the odd one out, cos the rest all go to Marina and you can also say 0434R is odd cos the rest depart from Bukit Panjang.. there are so many answers to your questions..
