Not sure if this is entertainment or general due to the supposed scientific perspective, however it it needs to be removed....

So, The Italian Job, the original, not the Hollywood hatchet job with the same name. How should it have ended. Did Charlie and the boys plunge down the mountain beaten to death by flying gold bars or did good old British 1960's ingenuity save the day. Well it appears here is your chance to put an end to it.
How did it end?
If you can come up with the answer then a three nights in Turin could be yours. You must assume that 30 minutes after Croker's declaration the bus will plunge down the mountain. Mathematical calculations, a description of at least 150 words and a diagram must be included.

I think we should send Fozzer off to his shed to perform a couple of tests involving bits of string, a cup of tea, a pencil and an the back of a cigarette packet and who knows, SimV piss up in Turin ;D

1. Captain, if the problem is not entered into the technical logbook.........then the aircraft does not have a problem.
2. And, if you have time to write the fault on a napkin and attach to it to the yoke.........you have time to write it in the tech log....see point 1.
