No, but it is the next-to-the-last stop on that line. Anyway, one

Richard Sumner:

[reading a math problem to test Bunny]
Now, a train started out at Grand Central, with seventeen passengers aboard and a crew of nine. At 125th Street, four got off and nine got on. At White Plains, three got off and one got on. At Chappaqua, nine got off and four got on. And at each successive stop thereafter, nobody got off, nobody got on till the train reached its next-to-the-last stop, where five people got off and one got on. Then it reached the terminal. Bunny Watson:
That's easy. Eleven passengers and a crew of nine. Richard Sumner:
Uh, w... That's not the question. Bunny Watson:

Nine. Richard Sumner:

Yes, I know. Richard Sumner:
Uh, would you mind telling me how you arrived at that conclusion? Bunny Watson:
Spooky, isn't it? Did you notice that there are also nine letters in Chappaqua? Richard Sumner:

Aren't you going to ask me How many people got off at White Plains? Three. Richard Sumner:
But there are ten letters in White Plains. Bunny Watson:

Well, supposing you'd only been there twice. Bunny Watson:
But I wasn't. I was there three times. Aren't you gonna ask me How many people got on at Croton Falls? Richard Sumner:
There is no Croton Falls mentioned at all in the question. Bunny Watson:
No, but it is the next-to-the-last stop on that line. Anyway, one
