Guest Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 It is the most frustrating ending to a film, ever.
Lillehamring Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 that's rubbish - what if the bloke got out the bus and that was the difference between it staying and falling... the obvious solution is to sit tight, wait til a farmer comes buy in his tractor, and drag the bus back....
stez Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7845533.stm the winning one's crap! i think the frogs one would work better
Fox You Forest Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 Make a lasso out of clothing and pull them over one bar at a time.
Lillehamring Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 let's face it, this is no 'conundrum' - richard whitely (god rest his soul) would laugh in the face of this conundrum... the real 'italian job conundrum' is: "did the producers of macgyver really believe that no one would notice the roof top chase scene from a sixties movie shoehorned into an episode of 'said show"

No-one gets off the bus... he gets lowered to the tyres from a window!
davieG Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 No-one gets off the bus... he gets lowered to the tyres from a window! How does he get to the fuel tank underneath the back?
cisono Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 Can't believe this guy (the competition winner) had been thinking about it for years?
Corky Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 Can't believe this guy (the competition winner) had been thinking about it for years? It's a bit like that bloke who took 20-odd years to solve his Rubix Cube. Madness
Trav Le Bleu Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 This solution assumes that the fuel tank is at the back. What if it's nearer the front (if memory serves, they usually are)

This involves emptying the fuel tank which John Godwin discovered was at the rear of the coach. This, he estimated, would contain 140kg of fuel."

Phube Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 yeah, phube, god, why don't you, like, read the thread before you wade in with, like, your vulcan logic or whatever Errr... what!
hairy Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 Errr... what! He is confused. National Pick on Phube day is next month!
lookwhaticando Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 Thank God. I shall sleep a little easier tonight.
Lillehamring Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 Errr... what! Gosh that's rubbish - what if the bloke got out the bus and that was the difference between it staying and falling... No-one gets off the bus... he gets lowered to the tyres from a window! How does he get to the fuel tank underneath the back? "Second, its weight distribution needs to be changed, particularly over the rear of the coach which is overlooking the drop.

Alexikokopops Posted 23 January 2009 Author Posted 23 January 2009 am i missing something? Phube says no one gets off the bus but someone has to get off the bus to empty the fuel tank
stez Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 Phube says no one gets off the bus but someone has to get off the bus to empty the fuel tank yeah but, as the back of the bus is hanging off the cliff, and 'he' is lowered from the bus, his weight is still being taken by the bus? surely? :dunno?
Alexikokopops Posted 23 January 2009 Author Posted 23 January 2009 yeah but, as the back of the bus is hanging off the cliff, and 'he' is lowered from the bus, his weight is still being taken by the bus? surely? :dunno? Yeah, but to get to the back (to empty the fuel) he'd have to be lowered from the back windows. Over the pivot. Meaning the weight's on the wrong side of the bus (the side they're trying to make lighter).
stez Posted 23 January 2009 Posted 23 January 2009 Yeah, but to get to the back (to empty the fuel) he'd have to be lowered from the back windows. Over the pivot.
