A young woman was riding home on the bus. Although the bus stopped only a few yards from her front door, she didn't get off there. In fact, she kept riding for several miles past her home, and then walked back. Why did she do that? | ||

Did she qualify for a free travel if she lived a certain distance from where she worked but this was several miles from her home? | ||

Did she fall asleep on the bus? Did she walk back immediately after getting off the bus? Was she trying to deceive someone? avoid someone? | ||

Does she often ride home on this bus? Does she always ride past her home? Does/did she do that intentionally? | ||

Was it then, something she wanted to see? Something/someone she needed to see? Did she walk directly home? Does she normally drive to work? Bike? Walk? Telecomune from home? Swim? Boat? Fly? Other? Relevant? Was she taking the bus so that she could see this thing/person? Was this thing/person only there that day? Was she stalking someone, and had to see where they got off the bus? Did she get off at the first stop after her home? The second? The first stop after some other point? | ||

Is there someone else relevant to this puzzle? a group of people? a couple? a non-himan animal? if yes to any of these was it someone/people? she hoped to see? Did she live with someone relevant? | ||

Is the noish that was the subject of contention previously a matter of wording the particular question? Is anyone else relevent to this puzzle? If so, does she meet someone at this bus stop? |
