The key to understanding the problem is focusing on the right information.
If we assume it is critical to keep track of the number of people getting on and off the bus, we focus on information that turns out to be unessential. It distracts us from the important information.
The answer to the problem is found in the first sentence: YOU are driving the bus, so the color is of course the color of YOUR eyes.
If you didn't get it right, don't worry—the majority of people don't answer correctly.
If you got it right you have exceptional problem solving skills!
