      Hi ct,

      never worked on a Lamborghini or Ferrari part but I worked on a BMW suspension system. Do you know how that works?
      Many of my university mates now work for Ferrari and Maserati though.

    How do you ensure that the aerodynamics of the product being designed are correct and symmetrical?

    Hi Archie,
    For the aerodynamics there are specific packages that simulate how the fluid particles move around a body. The maths behind them is very complex and the code usually take long to run. For symmetry, there are ways to ensure that your model is symmetric. In reality there will always be some differences due to the assembly for example or the manufacturing process itself. But the designs normally take these sources of difference into account. For each component you define some ‘tolerances’ which define a window of variability within which your design and performance is acceptable.

    What is an injector pressure in heavy vehicles

    Hi Amin, the injector pressure is the pressure at which the fuel is pushed through the injection system and into the cylinders of a vehicle. It varies depending on the engine size. I think tthe pressure is quite high in heavy vehicles.

    Two players take turns to take a coin from one of the ends of the line until there are no more coins left. The player with the larger amount of money wins.

    Would you rather go first or second? Does it matter?

    Hi Amin,
    You are really testing me with your questions!
    I know this is a programming question and programming has never been my cup of tea. I’ll give it a go anyway. So if the number of coins were even I wouldn’t mind go first or second. If it were odd, I’d go first so I would get an extra draw and increase my chances. This still does not make sure that I win because I have no clue in which order the coins are placed. So long story short, I’d just rely on luck.
