#1 Brain teaser: Balloon on a bus!
03-12-2013, 10:15 PM
I know you all are smart enough to guess this, plus there is only 3 answers! Go for it!
You're sitting on a bus. The kid next to you has a helium-filled balloon and it ends up against the ceiling, just about in the center of the bus. The driver suddenly hits the gas pedal and the bus lurches forward, throwing you back into your seat. What does the balloon do?
a. It moves backwards.
b. It moves forward.
c. It stays where it is.
:Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive.
” I wondered why the rock was getting larger. Then it hit me.

It appearsto move backwards relative to the motion of the bus. Inertia causes it to lag behind the bus' acceleration.

Before you can do things for people, you must be the kind of man who can get things done. But to get things done, you must love the doing, not the people!

It moves forward with the bus........just like the kid who gets slammed against the back of the seat moves forward with the bus.
