You can put this solution on YOUR website! the least common multiple of 5 and 6 is 30.

Actually, as it is worded, printed, posted and presented, this "quasi"-problem is good for RE-CYCLING only,
since it does not state that the bus and the train had arrived to the station at least once SIMULTANEOUSLY.
It means that the person who composed the problem, has no any conception on how a true Math problem should be worded.
