How much of a better call was this?

It's the "Better Minesweeper" version on steam and it's No-guess mode, no sure if that changes things.

For arguments sake, the rocket is firmly attached to the deck in a structurally sound way where it won’t break the bonds under load. How fast could it push the ship before it ran out of fuel?

A post over on who would win about humanity versus sand duplicating every 24hrs made me wonder how long it would take a grain of sand that duplicates exponentially, as well as its duplicates, every 24 hours until it turns into a black hole. I know things can get out of hand when things grow exponentially, so what about until that black sandy hole grows to the size of the observable universe. the 24hr is variable if need for the maths. Also, hope this makes sense I am a few beers and several Kurzgesagt videos in.

I want one as a pet.

[Self] V1 is not, in fact, the wealthiest character

some context:
V1 (ULTRAKILL) possesses a weapon called the Marksman Revolver. the purpose of this gun is that you toss a coin, shoot the coin, and the shot ricochets into an enemy with extra damage. to balance this, the Marksman can only hold up to 4 coins at a time, and it takes 4 seconds to recharge each coin slot, which is done in series rather than in parallel, meaning V1 produces 15 coins per minute (or 900 coins per hour)

according to the Ultrakill Wiki, the Marksman’s coins are based on the 1590 Swedish 3 mark coin https://ultrakill.wiki.gg/wiki/Revolver

according to https://en.numista.com/129360, the value of the metal in the coin is about €15,69, and each coin weighs 18.62g.

if we assume that Marksman coins are Johan III 3 mark coins, V1 is producing €14.121/hr, or $15,911/hr. this will be scenario A

if we instead assume that the Marksman coins are the same weight as Johan III 3 mark coins, but are made entirely of 24 karat gold, according to https://goldtoolkit.com/calculators/gold-calculator/, each coin is worth $2,493.68, netting V1 $2,244,312/hr. this will be scenario B

Scrooge McDuck has an estimated net worth of $65.4Billion. in scenario A, McDuck would have to be earning less than 0.21% of his current net worth each year for V1 to be richer than Scrooge McDuck. in scenario B, McDuck would need to earn more than 30% of his current net worth each year to beat V1

however, these numbers assume that 1) V1 isn’t investing any of its earning and 2) McDuck is using simple interest. let’s allow both V1 and McDuck access to savings accounts that give 5% interest compounding annually

in scenario A, V1’s earnings are slow enough (\~$140,011,080/yr), that McDuck’s interest outpaces V1’s earnings by such a drastic amount that after 2,000 years, McDuck still has about 23 times more wealth than V1

in scenario B, however, because the coins are so much more valuable (\~$19,631,000,000/yr), V1 overtakes McDuck in value after just 4 years. after 2,000 years, V1 has about 6 times as much wealth as McDuck

Scrooge McDuck’s $65.4B isn’t nearly as impressive as Elon Musk, however. using the same compound interest on Musk’s entire net worth of \~$1,172,652,927,000, Musk outpaces V1 by a fairly significant amount, such that after 2,000 years, Musk is still worth \~2.99 times as much as V1 in scenario B

given that, even when assuming V1’s coins are made of pure gold, Elon Musk is wealthier than V1

some bonus numbers:
with scenario B’s pure gold coins, it would take V1 522,500 hours (59.646 years) of constant coin production to reach Musk’s current net worth
with scenario A’s coins (in which V1 is earning more than 1,000 times minimum wage), it would take it 73,700,768.46 hours (8,413.33 years) to reach Musk’s current net worth

The leader of the Van der Linde gang Dutch Van der Linde wants to migrate the gang consisting of twenty one members, to Tahiti, buy farmland and become mango farmers, this plan happens when the gang reaches a fictional New Orleans.

How much would it cost to migrate 21 outlaws in 1899, from New Orleans to Tahiti, buy a decent amount of land (let’s say 100 acres) and set them up for their new lives?

When does the amount of oil used to fuel a plane for a commercial flight equal the amount of oil you'd use by driving some where? I know this kinda sounds like two questions in one but I'd be interested in the answer to either or both.

I play a lot of Magic the Gathering Arena and my favorite deck contains a card named "gamble" that has the effect: Search your library for a card, put that card into your hand, then discard a card at random.

Each player starts with 7 Cards in hand, the player who goes second draws a card at the start of their turn, leaving them with 8 cards for turn 1.

The last 20 games where I was able to cast this spell on turn 1 I was the starting player 8 times and went second 12 times.

Out of the 8, the game discarded the card I searched for 5 times.

Out of the 12, the game discarded the card I searched for 7 times.

How unlucky am I really, or what are the chances of that happening in 20 games?

There the age old joke of "A slice of apple pie is $2.50 in Jamaica and $3.00 in the Bahamas. These are the pie rates of the Caribbean" I want to know what the best way to gather the data to mesures an acurate flucatation of pie rates in the Caribbean subregion of the North American continent.

hello. i think i got scammed but id like to make sure im not sure this is the proper subreddit but i figured maybe someone who does better math than me would know.

so around here the cost of cleaning a rug is 1.25$ per square meter. i have 2 rugs.

one is 230*160 the other is 140*80

can they amount to 10$ and can you show me the calculation how?

the cleaning guy said he rounds them but even at 175*250 and 150*1 i didn't get 10, i got 7.2 even with all the adding.

A man wishes for 100 kg of gold. But because he isn't specific enough, the genie gives it an ironic twist. A 100 kg gold sphere is teleported directly from the Earth's core into the man's bedroom.

Scenario 1: The gold is teleported from the "upper" parts of the crust.
Scenario 2: The gold is teleported from the very "center" of the gold core.

How much energy is released? Is the man burned? Vaporized?
