On route 71X buses start from the Green Man at Ilworth and ply backwards and forwards between that hostelry and the Shabby Tiger at Plugstead. There are 11 buses on this route; each, on arriving at either terminus, waits for one minute and then begins the return journey.
Mr. Brightly, a bus driver from the provinces, boarded a bus at the Green Man the other day and rode all the way to the Shabby Tiger, making a note everytime he passed a 71X bus. He passed one (so he calculated) every 1,320 meters, and estimated their average speed at 15kph.
How many buses did he pass en route?

No 1. Buses are always late, so I doubt they'd all be EXACTLY 1320m apart.
No 2. What the hell is Mr. Brightly doing calculating anything. Surely that's dangerous driving. Keep your mind on your job Brightly!
3. Why are there so many buses on 1 route, all at only 1.3km apart? Typical!
4. And the answer is 10, because once he'd passed them all, they'd all be behind him.
