Puzzle 2 


This BrainBashers safe has a rather unusual control panel.

In order to open the safe, you have to press every single square once only, in the correct sequence, ending on the square marked E.

Each square indicates which square to press next, for example, 2U means move up 2 squares and 3R means move right 3 squares.

Can you determine which square you must start with?

Note: this puzzle is not interactive, and the safe buttons cannot be clicked.

My local bus company has recently expanded and no longer has enough room inside its garage for all of its buses.

If they decide to increase their garage space by 40% they will have enough room for all of their current buses, plus enough room to store another twelve in the future.

How many buses does the company currently own?
