The movie tells the story of the bus played by Michael Caine and his party. The bus is teetering on the edge of a cliff and needs to struggle to maintain balance. There is 3.2 tons of gold in the back compartment, and the thief sits in the front half of the compartment. At the end of the movie, Michael Kane said to his companions around him: "Wait a minute, I have a good idea!" But the movie did not explain the method he thought of, and the mystery has not been solved.
The Royal Society of Chemistry held a competition last year to solicit strategies to transport gold. It attracted about 2,000 people to participate. Godwin, a 39-year-old IT manager in Surrey, who has watched the film dozens of times, came up with three steps. The gold transportation method won in the end.
Godwin said that first the robber had to stabilize the car by breaking four windows, two pieces shattered outwards and two pieces shattered inwards to improve the weight ratio, and then a robber climbed out of the car window and punctured the tires. Angrily, stop the bus from shaking. Another person was sent to drain the fuel tank installed at the rear of the bus to reduce the weight of the rear of the bus. It is estimated that the fuel in the tank weighs 140 kilograms. Finally, send a comrade to leave the bus, pick up the stone and place it in front of the bus to ensure that the weight of the first half of the car is stable, and then the gold bricks can be transported away piece by piece.
