That is what a colleague (or should I say a friend?) of mine told me shortly after I won once again the prize at the mid year comms session this morning!! Yes...again me, second time in a row...unbelievable...!
Last December the question was on about Santa Claus and the A330, this time instead was something a bit more complex...

If all the men and women on earth would like to buy all the Airbus Aircraft sold up to the end of 2008, how much each of them should pay in USD...?

I underestimate the number of people on earth (I though about 4 billions, instead I found out there are over 6 billions) but at the same time I underestimate also the number of airplane we sold in Airbus history...so in the end I worked out about 195$...where the correct answer was 163$...! Not too bad...

So, once again a sparkling Rose' in the cupboard...!

Santa's reindeers are sick and he's desperate cos he can't deliver presents to kids...! Airbus kindly offered to lend an A330-200 plus pilot and cabin crew, provided that Santa pays for the fuel...The price is 0.5$ per liter in Lapland...Santa needs a full tank...how much is he gonna spend...?

There was a prize for the correct answer...a bottle of wine...

And so it happened that, among all the people that took part to the comms session today, my answer was the closest to the result...and the wine bottle is now in my cupboard...!!! :))

(and I also shacked the hand to the vice-president Engineering for Airbus UK....whhheeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!! :)
