I give bus numbers, u guess the route. Something similar to the posting of daily bus rides thread. (hope u get what I mean)
I took these buses today:
27, 33, 36, 51, 55, 62, 103, 107, 123, 136, 153, 168, 966.
Needed: The sequence of buses that I took, and the name of the road where I changed buses.
Clue 1 (or rather a giveaway): Starting bus:51
Clue 2 (also a giveaway): Ending bus: 33
Clue 3 (giveaway): Name of starting and ending road: Alexandra Rd (which is home)
Clue 4 : During my bus ride today, I went to 3 bus interchanges.
Clue 5: Except for one instance, when I crossed the road to take a bus at the opposite bus stop, I always board a new bus at the same bus stop.
Clue 6 (giveaway): I took 51 in the direction of JE, not towards Hougang.
Clue 7: I took my second and fourth buses to an interchange (different ones of course).
Clue 8: For my second bus, 3 other services could have also gone to the same interchange. It just so happened that that particular bus service came first. So I didnt have to wait too long. But normally for that bus I would have to wait for a long time before it arrives. So I was quite surprised it came first. Just lucky i guess!
Clue 9: Woodlands was my third interchange.
Clue 10: My last bus home could have been 64 instead of 33, but I would have to alight at another location, which I forgot to do. 64 only meets this bus service at this particular bus stop, and no other bus stops (in this direction at least).
Clue 11: There is one bus which I took for only 2 bus stops.
I will provide more clues later

the quiz by loudmonkey got me thinking for 45min last night -
Lemme try this one:Originally posted by ula_man:I set one for fun. Quiz 1
Boarding stop: Sembawang Rd ( outside Khatib Camp)
Reporting stop :Sin Ming Ave ( outside Blk 407)
Alighting stop: Guillemard rd ( outside grandlink sq)
980: Sembawang Rd (Outside Khatib Camp) to Upp Thomson Rd (After SLE) Stage 7 to 11 therefore 4 stages - $0.63
169: Upp Thomson Rd (After SLE) to AMK Int. Stage 20 to 27 therefore 7 stages - $0.83
130: AMK Int to Sin Ming Ave (Citycab) Stage 1 to 3.5 therefore 2.5 stages - $0.63
410: Sin Ming Ave (Citycab) to Bishan Int. Feeder Service - $0.63 Passes by Blk 407 (reporting stop)
56: Bishan Int to Braddel Rd (Opp Fujitec Singapore) Stage 1 to 4 therefore 3 stages - $0.63
157 Braddel Rd (Opp Fujitec Singapore) to Toa Payoh Int. Stage 27 to 29 therefore 2 stages - $0.63
26: Toa Payoh Int to Jln Toa Payoh (Aft Blk 195) Stage 1 to 4 therefore 3 stages - $0.63
154: Jln Toa Payoh (Aft Blk 195) to Merpati Rd (Blk 14) Stage 30 to 34 therefore 4 stages - $0.63
135: Merpati Rd (Blk 14) to Eunos Rd 8 (Paya Lebar MRT) Stage 10.5 to 12.5 therefore 2 stages - $0.63
70: Eunos Rd 8 (Paya Lebar MRT) to Guillemard Rd (Opp Grandlink Square) Stage 17 to 17.5 therefore 0.5 stage - $0.63
Total cost - 9 X $0.63 + 1 X $ 0.83 = $6.50
Hope I complied with the rules! -
Take 167 to Aft SLE (Upp Thomson Rd)Originally posted by ula_man:I have been thinking and decided to invent this game. Hope you find it as fun as Cluedo.
The idea of this game is fairly simple. I will specify a boarding stop and an alighting stop. You must try to think of a combianation that can bring you from boarding to alighting stop. However, you are required to report at a specified stop once anywhere in the journey.
Whoever can pay the least fare wins. However, there are some rules you have to abide.
Restrictions:
1) You must take at least 10 buses during the whole journey. No repeat taking of the same bus service is allowed.
2) You are allowed to take Express buses only once.
3)You cannot change buses on the same road twice. For example, you boarded Sv 10 from Tampines Int, you alighted along East Coast Rd to change sv 12. Then you change into Sv 32 on East Coast Rd itself. This move is not allowed . You need to wait until Mountbatten Road if you want to transfer sv 12 into sv 32.
4)You can be given only 1 chance to cross the road to transfer another service. No walking to a nearby stop is allowed.
5) Time is not important. There is no right or wrong answer, whoever can produce the least fare wins.
6) No trains or cabs or hitch hike is allowed.
7)Fare is calculated according to below: * No rebates are qualified and all to be paid as adult fares in ezlink card. Only sv 11,35,90,91,191, 200 are counted as NAC fares. No price cap/concession is applied in this game.

By the way you violated th "Crossing only 1" rules, $0.88 on 90 takes you up to Opp Flight Operation Bldg aka Air Force Museum only, so there is 2 times crossing of road.
By the way, walking over has no limits, can be many times -

Need not think,
Take 54 till UE Sq $0.63 (River Valley Rd)
Walk to Shell Hse BS (No crossing of Rd)
Take 143 till TPY Int $1.03
The other way I don't want to say, it is 139, but you would be paying more and travel longer
BTW, it should be $0.78 on taking 90, FS has been changed on 90 -
