need help with a lateral thinking question?

Question

a man gets on a bus with a one piece snooker cue and the bus driver says he'll have to pay 2 fares because the cue is over 5 foot so the man gets off the bus and buys something from a shop and gets back on the bus and only pays 1 fare and the snooker cue is still intact, what did he buy to enable him to only pay 1 fare

Answer 1

He buys a small tin of white paint. He paints the cue stick white, and uses it as a blind person would, as a cane. The bus driver cannot refuse a blind person's cane or charge them extra for it.
At least that's my guess.

Answer 2

White spray paint - $1.00, Sunglasses, $1.00, painting your snooker cue white and using it as a blind-mans walking stick, to keep from paying an extra fare on a bus, Priceless.

Answer 3

Some sticky tape and he sticks the cue onto the outside of the bus before getting back on?

Answer 4

It doesn't say he has the cue on the bus.

So, he leaves the old one piece cue somewhere....but intact...buys a new two piece cue and gets on the bus.

Answer 5

I'm only guessing, buy he could have brought a locker of some kind and left it in there. Or traded it in and 'brought' a shorter cue.

Answer 6

A tin of white paint. He then used the cue as a "white stick" and pretended to be blind.

Answer 7

A tape measure to prove the cue was 4ft11.5"?

Answer 8

he bought a long jacket and put the cue under it...although it would have been cheaper to pay 2 bus tickets derrrrrr (unless he went to a 2nd hand shop lol)

Answer 9

he got on a different bus as some bus drivers are out of order and others are nice

Answer 10

Did he buy a ticket? When he got back on the bus, he only had one more to buy? I doubt it, but it's possible.
