You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Let's start with N passengers.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%282%2F3%29N\"$ leave, so $\"%281%2F3%29N\"$ are still on the bus plus the 12 gives you,
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F3%29N%2B12=75\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%281%2F3%29N=63\"$
\n" ); document.write( " $\"N=189\"$
\n" ); document.write( "That's a big bus.
\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
