minus-squareRememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·9 hours agoLet’s say that cube is 4.5’ a side. That’s 91.125 cu ft. Tungsten weighs 1,201.738 lb/cu ft. Which means the cube weighs 109,508.38 lb. That’s an impressively sturdy floor. Currently, tungsten is selling at about $340 USD/ton. The block weighs 54,754.19 tons. So this is indeed a fantastic prize at $18,616,425 USD. All you have to do to claim your prize is get it home.
