Puzzle Description:
Which way is this bus traveling (left or right)? This question was asked of kindergarten students. 90% got it right.

90% got it right... (in England) ?! All right! :)#2: Thomas Genuine (Genuine) on Jul 15, 2013
Saying right is a human right. :)#3: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jul 15, 2013
okay... they stated the correct answer#4: Jota (jota) on Jul 15, 2013
I know this one cause in my heart I'm a kid!#5: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jul 15, 2013
don't let on yet, Jota#6: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Jul 15, 2013
But is it in drive or reverse? I say it's in drive and going left.:)#7: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Jul 15, 2013 [HINT]
it IS going to the left (if it's in drive for Al)#8: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jul 15, 2013
one route: EL dots C20R12-15, everything else is LL

Neither; it can't roll on blocky wheels?#10: Alison P Deem (Indigo1) on Jul 15, 2013
I agree with Kristen. I don't think it's moving.#11: Kacey Brummet (airgiod) on Jul 15, 2013
It's going to the left. Bus doors are on the right of the vehicle.#12: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Jul 15, 2013
Pictures can't move on their own.#13: Thomas Genuine (Genuine) on Jul 15, 2013
Kacey, have you ever seen a famous doubledecker in London?#14: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Jul 16, 2013
Kacey got it :)the kids said they couldn't see the door#15: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Jul 16, 2013
some of us got it too ;)#16: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Jul 16, 2013 [HINT]
I agree with David, but add that it's deep edge logic that rules out c20r15. (It would conflict with c18.) Then plain edge logic rules out r12-14. Then line logic to finish.#17: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jul 16, 2013
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.#18: Jay Hughes (bfavrehof74) on Jul 18, 2013
I say it's going forward.#19: Bill (PopPop) on Nov 9, 2019 [SPOILER]
It's not a bus - it's a train car
