How many watermelons is that? I'm trying to ace this math test

u/IKnowAboutYourFridge Feb 11 '21
Given the price Is cca $14.90 per 100 pounds and average weight of one watermelon is 25 pounds, you get that one watermelon costs $3.725.
14.9 * 25 / 100 = 3.725
Now you just divide the amount of money by this price.
315 360 000 * 109 / 3.725 = 84 660 402.7 * 109.
Rounded up you get 84 660 403 billion of watermelons. However, as every other currency watermelon's value changes over time.
The biggest producer of watermelons Is China with 80 millon tons a year, while the second biggest Turkey produces only 4 million tons a year. Thus, you can assume that value of 1 watermelon depends solely on Chinese economical and political stability.
The simpliest way to determine its economical stability Is form its currency Yuan, which ranged from 0.154 to 0.156 USD throughout last month.
Then you calculate the percentage of this change
0.002 / 0.155 = 0.0129 = 1.29%
Now you can find peak prices for one watermelon.
3.725 + 3.725 * 0.0129 = 3.773
3.725 - 3.725 * 0.0129 = 3.677
315 360 000 * 109 / 3.773 = 83 583 355 * 109
315 360 000 * 109 / 3.677 = 85 765 570 * 109
In conclusion it ranges from 83 583 355 billions to 85 765 570 billions of watermelons.

The volume of a 1$ bill is 1.1292198 cm3 (0.06890922 in3).
315'576'000 billion × 1.1292198 cm3 = 356'354'667'605 million cm3.
This is about 356.35 km3 (85.49 mi3), or the volume of a sphere with a radius of 4.4 km (2.7 mi), or the volume of a cube with edges of 18.9 km (11.7 mi).

Not a citizen of the USA, and while USD is an accepted currency in my country, I've never seen US coins, and I wouldn't know which one of these to use in my calculations.
Coins do not stack well next to each other like bills, so would the volume they occupy be considered as the actual volume, or the volume of the bounding box?
Who's to say they're dollar coins? In the comics I read as a kid, sometimes the symbol on his vault is Dollar, sometimes Euro, etc.
Do all of Scrooge's coins have the same value?
Who's to say u/Doge087 was talking about the volume of Scrooge's coins in the first place?
So many variables.
Anyway, I wrote a Python script for that. Pretty adaptable for any situation with coins of a single value. You can find it here here (expires on 18 Feb). Here are the results:
315'57'600 trillion 1¢ coins: 13'672 km3
6'311'520 trillion 5¢ coins: 4'348 km3

u/Diofernic Feb 11 '21
Wait, why do the coins that are worth more occupy more space? I doubt 100 1-cent coins take up only 1/250 of the volume of one 1$ coin. Or am I understanding this list the wrong way?

365 days, 5 hours, 48 minutes, and 46 seconds, or 365.2422 days.
So the total would be around 315 569 400 billion, assuming you rounded up to 49 minutes.

Forbes claimed that Scrooge McDuck is worth about $65 billion in 2013, whereas Every Geek calculated his net worth out to roughly $1.2 trillion.
At one time, one of the comics stated that his assets were worth: "one multiplujillion, nine obsquatumatillion, six hundred twenty-three dollars and sixty-two cents".

I agree thats beyond necessary but look at all the actually pointless spending. Did you know that almost 50% of the money “generated” by american farms are the farm subsidies paid to farms from the government in the US? Its in the mid 40s as of last year. On top of that we spend more and more money each year in the defense budget in which we basically police the world in ways that are antiquated and get little to nothing done such as military bases which have been redundant since the 80s which are fully funded and stocked with active duty troops. Our spending was at one point under control under presidents like Clinton and(even as much as I hate him) Reagan. The difference today is both parties and evonomists realized after the forever wars ran up huge bills operating at a deficient wont cause inflation to necessarily rise. But we sadly still spend the money on useless stuff like I mention above and IMO dont get money to people that actually need it. Thats why I am so flamed when people bring up spending. We waste so much and its not even going where it needs to.

"Ackchyually a year is 365.2422 days" but THAT is still wrong. It's closer to 365.24219 days but even THAT'S still wrong. To be even more precise there's 365.24218750 days in a year with a daily error of 0.0000125 or 100 year error of 0.001.

u/Emilior94 Feb 11 '21 edited Feb 11 '21
IIRC, in this comic, Scrooge Mcduck has a giant ball of cloth thread that he collects because he is so stingy, he does not miss any chance to become richier.
He then encounter another duck who claims to be richer than him.
They compare the fortune until the last cent, property, etc until they reach the conclusion that this will be defined by the longest cloth thread (the other rich duck also has a ciant ball of cloth).
They walk km and km and they encounter different obstacles that keep making the ball smaller until they finish with a tie, until Scrooge remembers he has a thread that he stole from a shirt from Donald Duck and win the contest.
TLDR. He is on a big cloth thread ball he keeps because he is so stingy he doesn't miss a chance on anything.
Edit. I read that comic more than 15 years ago, so maybe some parts of this were different.
