Au Québec, on a coutume de déterminer par tirage au sort le rang des joueurs au début de la partie. Il existe pourtant une procédure toute simple utilisée au cours des compétitions professionnelles au lieu du tirage au sort. Il s'agit de l'aller-retour. Les deux participants (ou un représentant de chaque équipe) se placent côte à côte à l'extrémité du haut de la table et jouent en même temps chacun une bille en direction de la bande du bas afin de la faire revenir vers le haut. Celui dont la bille s'immobilise le plus prés de la bande du haut a le choix de décider du rang des joueurs. 1, record 6, French, - aller%2Dretour

Lorsque le dispositif fonctionne de façon mécanique (WHIPS chez Volvo, SAHR chez Saab), il est actionné par le mouvement engendré par le haut du torse des passagers avant lors d'une collision survenant par l'arrière. L'appui-tête remonte et s'avance, un mouvement généré par un système intégré au dossier du siège. Ainsi, la distance entre la tête et l'appui-tête est réduite de manière significative. [...] Chez Mercedes (Neck-Pro), le dispositif est électromécanique. Des ressorts précomprimés pilotés par des capteurs avancent et relèvent l'appuie-tête en cas de collision (44 mm vers l'avant et 30 mm vers le haut). Une fois le choc passé, il peut être remis manuellement [en position initiale]. 2, record 8, French, - appui%2Dt%C3%AAte%20actif

To minimize electromagnetic contamination of the field measurements by the rest of the spacecraft, the magnetometer sensor head will be deployed outside the refrigerated volume on the vertical boom. The sensor head will be designed to survive indefinitely under the ambient Venus surface conditions. Functioning within that constraint requires that all the active electronic elements of the magnetometer be contained within the refrigerated volume; the sensor head will be electronically passive. The sensor head will also include a temperature sensor, for calibration purposes. 2, record 15, English, - refrigerated%20volume
