Can you figure which way the bus is going? While this brain teaser is leaving most adults scratching their heads, kids surprisingly got the answer in an instant.

National Geographic is making every mind snarled up with this tricky brain teaser puzzle as some can’t tell which way the bus is travelling. With their own version, they showed to a number of kids under 10 a picture of a yellow bus with identical windows on both ends without giving a clue where the bus door or which is the front or back side of the bus.

Brain teasers are usually given in schools as a logic test for pupils. In this test, they have proven there’s more than chocolates and toys in their brains. And Mums would have a huge hopes they’d take advantage of their logic too in picking their clothes on the floor and cleaning up after their mess. Holler to all mums out there!

Actually, the correct answer to this puzzle is—- it may vary on what country you belong. For Australians, the bus is travelling on the right because our vehicles are right-hand driven but for Americans, the answer is the bus is going left.

In an episode of Brain Games in National Geographic, 80%of the kids under 10 tested, got this answer instantly! One proud kid was asked how they figure the trick and he answered with conviction ‘because ‘we’re smart???’. Oh yeah! mums are indeed proud having raised a generation of Einstein and Steve Jobs!
