See if you can sort this one out 'cos it beats me.

A man on a bus has a helium filled baloon on a string. When the bus turns the man predictably moves towards the outside of the corner. The balloon however moves to the inside of the corner. centrifugal or centripetal? Buoyancy or what? I have no idea.

It does work. I tried it not long ago.
