minus-squareRememberTheApollo_@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up7·edit-24 days 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 54.7542 tons. So this is indeed a decent prize at $18,616 USD. All you have to do to claim your prize is get it home. Edit: corrected to a less whelming but still difficult to transport prize thanks to chiliedogg.
