The Riddle

[BeckyRose1998]

Here's a riddle for you all:

It's raining outside when you go past a bus stop. There are three people waiting there: your best, most trustworthy friend, a pregnant that needs to go to the hospital, and the love of your life. Your SmartCar only holds two people. How do you get all the people to their destination in one trip?

What I think is the real answer: you take the bus.

The sappy answer: if the pregnant woman is my girlfriend, she's all three people, so we all fit in my car.

Trinity, anyone?

A few things:
That bus ain't coming and your girlfriend/love is not pregnant.

 

[Gjallarhorn]

You could all walk, supposing the hospital is the next block over.

If there's no bus coming, why are they waiting at a bus stop?

Are we close enough to walk?

 

[9-10ths_Penguin]

Alternate answer: my most trustworthy friend and the love of my life are the same person, so I give my girlfriend the keys, she drives the pregnant woman, and I walk.

... you never said I had to get where they were going.

You don't know the bus isn't coming. And the each destination ranges from 10-18 miles away.

Loop-hole.

 

[Gjallarhorn]

I got it! Your friend is pregnant and your girlfriend is what you call your non-dominant hand!

Nope.

 

[Quagmire]

Call a cab.

 

[BeckyRose1998]

Call a cab.

Every cab in the area has had their tires popped.

Every cab in the area has had their tires popped.

If you're allowed to make up stuff after the fact, are we allowed too?

 

[Quagmire]

Roll down your window and shout, "Be here now!".

Problem solved.

If you're allowed to make up stuff after the fact, are we allowed too?

No! Hahaha...I was expecting typical answers like:
"Tie them to the roof of your car!"
Or
"Have your friend drive to the hospital with the pregnant lady, and you stay there with the love of your life."

The answer to the riddle:
You don't. You go home and reevaluate your life. You bought a SMARTCAR.
