I thought it was two ounces. -- nm - loosilu May 31, 12:15
Re-check your math if that's accurate...you're off by 66lbs. -- nm - Will Hunting May 31, 12:14 9
- d'oh....I see what I did wrong...I did 750 quarters, not $750 dollars worth of quarters, so now we're closer to 88 lbs -- nm - zeitgeist May 31, 12:19
- If it is accurate (2 quarters = 1 ounce), then it comes to $87.50. -- nm - Don Homer May 31, 12:16 3
  - errr... 87.50 lbs obviously -- nm - Don Homer May 31, 12:17 2

- It's possible he was confusing it with $700 of used cat litter. -- nm - TFox May 31, 12:15 1
  - it could run from 300 to 2,000 pounds depending on whether you get healthfood store stuff or cheap stuff -- nm - zeitgeist May 31, 12:22
- i would be shocked -- nm - moles May 31, 12:15 1
  - I know it's more than 22lbs, I'll say that. -- nm - Will Hunting May 31, 12:17
