The end of The Italian Job sees the gang in the front of a bus teetering over a cliff, looking at all the gold at the back end of the bus and knowing they can't get to it without plunging to gold-plated deaths. The question posed was simple: How could the gang get the gold out of the bus and remain alive to spend it



A competition was launch to find the answer and the winning entry describes the following sequence:

Break the windows at the back to reduce weight; break two windows at the front, hold one gang member upside-down out of the window to deflate the front tires and stabilize the vehicle; drain the rear fuel tank through an access panel at the bottom of the bus; gang members leave one by one from the front, collecting stones to replace their weight; keep adding stones until someone can safely go to the rear to retrieve the gold

Yeah, my Dad told me about that . . . . I'm not convinced on the deflating tyres idea . . . the tyres weren't actually on the floor !

You'd have to add loads of rocks, first . . . .
