Ask King Hammurabi. He tried it and bankrupted himself. ;)

That was with wheat tho :angel:

And? Its still a binary number. 2^30 in fact.
Or, for the lazy, that's 1073741824
So $10,737,418.24 Which is, you would agree, more than $5m. :angel:

I'll just stick with 42 Mate.
It works for me :)

Yeah.. but only in Base 13. :)
42 in base 13 is "33".
If you didn't know before you won't care now.
I thought trout was referring to The Hitchhiker's Guide. With radix 13, 42 would be 4 x 13 + 2 = 54. :tease:
If these were Aussie pennies then, after the 30 days, you would have over 10,000 tonnes of 97% pure copper alloy!
Melt value AUD$81.6million.:yahoo:
Hint; don't sell it all at once -you don't want to depress the world copper market.

That's a better way to look at it. Would I be right in saying there were only 715 million pennies minted? :idea: Any idea how many already melted?

6x9=42 in base 13.

I think the number they were angling for is 2^29, not 2^30. Which is 536870912, or in monetary form as pennies, $5,368,709.12.
Of course, that's US "pennies" or, if you change the $ for a £, that's British decimal pence. If they were "real pennies" like we had here in Australia, 2^29 pennies would net you £2,236,962/2/8 if my maths is correct.
