055: Jln Eunos to Jln Eunos
966: Jln Eunos to Woodlands Interchange

103: Jln Kayu to Yio Chu Kang Rd
136: Yio Chu Kang Rd to Upp Serangoon Rd
153: Upp Serangoon Rd to Hougang Central Interchange
Int: Hougang Central
107: Hougang Central Interchange to Hougang Ave 10/2
*Cross Road*
062: Hougang Ave 2/10 to Hougang Ave 6
027: Hougang Ave 6 to Changi Airport
Int: Changi Airport
036: Changi Airport to Orchard Rd
123: Orchard Rd to Tiong Bahru Rd

The starting bus stop and the ending bus stop is the same. I was prob not too clear in that, Sorry!

Solution
051: Alexandra Rd to Jln Eunos

Clue 6 (giveaway): I took 51 in the direction of JE, not towards Hougang.

055: Jln Eunos to Jln Eunos

I did not get on and off along the same road. Sorry for not clarifying!

966: Jln Eunos to Woodlands Interchange
Int: Woodlands right!
168: Woodlands Interchange to Jln Kayu right!
103: Jln Kayu to Yio Chu Kang Rd
136: Yio Chu Kang Rd to Upp Serangoon Rd
153: Upp Serangoon Rd to Hougang Central Interchange
Int: Hougang Central
107: Hougang Central Interchange to Hougang Ave 10/2
*Cross Road*
062: Hougang Ave 2/10 to Hougang Ave 6
027: Hougang Ave 6 to Changi Airport right!
Int: Changi Airport This is not an interchange, but yes, I changed bus here! There is another interchange
036: Changi Airport to Orchard Rd
123: Orchard Rd to Tiong Bahru Rd
033: Tiong Bahru Rd to Alexandra Rd

Please tell me any part that is wrong, include sequence of services, places of transfer and the place where u cross the road[/b]

I think I agree there can be a lot of permutations, so I will give more clues: I remarked against those u have gotten right, the rest are incorrect, in part or in full. But the sequence is incorrect.

Clue 7: I took my second and fourth buses to an interchange (different ones of course).

Clue 8: For my second bus, 3 other services could have also gone to the same interchange. It just so happened that that particular bus service came first. So I didnt have to wait too long. But normally for that bus I would have to wait for a long time before it arrives. So I was quite surprised it came first. Just lucky i guess!

Clue 9: Woodlands was my third interchange.

Clue 10: My last bus home could have been 64 instead of 33, but I would have to alight at another location, which I forgot to do. 64 only meets this bus service at this particular bus stop, and no other bus stops (in this direction at least).

Clue 11: The is one bus which I took for only 2 bus stops.

I will provide more clues later Mr. Green

I have been thinking and decided to invent this game. Hope you find it as fun as Cluedo.

The idea of this game is fairly simple. I will specify a boarding stop and an alighting stop. You must try to think of a combianation that can bring you from boarding to alighting stop. However, you are required to report at a specified stop once anywhere in the journey.
Whoever can pay the least fare wins. However, there are some rules you have to abide.

Restrictions:
1) You must take at least 10 buses during the whole journey. No repeat taking of the same bus service is allowed.

2) You are allowed to take Express buses only once.

3)You cannot change buses on the same road twice. For example, you boarded Sv 10 from Tampines Int, you alighted along East Coast Rd to change sv 12. Then you change into Sv 32 on East Coast Rd itself. This move is not allowed . You need to wait until Mountbatten Road if you want to transfer sv 12 into sv 32.

4)You can be given only 1 chance to cross the road to transfer another service. No walking to a nearby stop is allowed.

5) Time is not important. There is no right or wrong answer, whoever can produce the least fare wins.

6) No trains or cabs or hitch hike is allowed.

7)Fare is calculated according to below: * No rebates are qualified and all to be paid as adult fares in ezlink card. Only sv 11,35,90,91,191, 200 are counted as NAC fares. No price cap/concession is applied in this game.

An example

Specified boarding stop:Upp Serangoon Rd ( Blk 302)
Reporting stop:Tampines bus int
Specified alighting stop:Airline Rd (police pass ctr)

51: Upp Serangoon Rd to Hougang Ave 3 ( Blk1) 3 stages $0.63
72:Hougang ave 3 to tampines rd (Blk 8 ) 1 stage $0.63
53:Tampines rd(blk 8 ) to Pasir Ris Dr 1 (Blk 738 ) 9 stages $1.03
89: Pasir ris dr1 to pasir ris dr3 (Downtown east) 3 stages $0.63
3: pasir ris dr 3 to Tampines Int 7 stages $0.83

67: tampines ave 5 to bedok stn 6 stages $0.83
24: Cross road take to singapore expo h4 4 stages $0.63
12: upp changi rd to simei rd (blk135) 2 stage $0.63
9: simei rd to airline rd (police pass ctr) 15 stages $1.23

Total fare: $6.24. I did not violate any rules.

What do you think of this game? Feasible to carry out?

I set one for fun. Quiz 1
Boarding stop: Sembawang Rd ( outside Khatib Camp)
Reporting stop :Sin Ming Ave ( outside Blk 407)
Alighting stop: Guillemard rd ( outside grandlink sq)

Expiry date for this quiz 1: 2359hr 25/6/04

You can post many times or edit yr original post. The winner will be the one who pays the least in total. Hope to spur some interests.. Smile
