1, Surge I don't get your logic, you can't take 24 people off a bus with only 5 people on it

The answer is 2

10 than 5. 20 get on (10x2). That's 25. Counting the driver, it's 26. 24 get off, that leaves 2. Could be totally wrong.

By the way, 3.

^ Correct, though the phrasing of the riddle is ambiguous because an "empty" bus should not be moving unless it's remote-controlled.
