Reading over "Ace the Tech Pilot Interview" right now and one of the questions kind of puzzled me.
There's the problem. Put down the book. Finding something correct in that book is more a matter of happy coincidence, than an expectation.

Think about it. Which way does the airplane want to turn, with a crosswind, before airborne? Into the wind. Which way does an airplane want to turn with an engine failure? Into the failed engine. Marry the two concepts; during the ground roll if an upwind engine is lost, you have the worst of both worlds, and the worse case combination.
