That cube would be in the neighborhood of a 1 million dollars of tungsten

2/10 Prize 8/10 Prize if delivery is included
I can put it in the front yard, spray paint it gold, and start a neighborhood cult around The Cube.

That is surprisingly little. Are you sure?

I mean, I can only estimate it’s size from the person standing next to it. From there I can use that estimate to get the volume of the cube, then the weight, then look up the cost by weight right now and apply the average.
So it would be somewhere around 1mm by weight.

By weight probably, for it to be a perfectly symmetrical cube would likely cost you double that.

I’m betting I got it a few months before someone can gather the equipment to steal it. It would have outlived its novelty and likely be a burden at that point. If the cult works out The Cube should be self sufficient and could even become a profitable local attraction.

A tungsten cube that size would weigh a fuckload.
To just deliver it would be an undertaking. There will be roads between you and the where ever this came from that are not rated for that weight.
You may need a specialized truck just to move it, and a crane to get it on and off said truck…

If they won’t deliver The Cube at their expense, they should have given out a more reasonable prize.

Just get egyptians to move it

How does one join the cult for The Cube?
Sabata11792@ani.social 2 days ago
One must simply gaze upon the glory of The Cube. The Cube will invite you in, keep you warm, keep you safe. The Cube welcomes all. The Cube just wants to share.

Cube is life.

You ain’t putting it anywhere. It’s getting delivered and staying where they put it.
A single 5 foot cube of tungsten would weigh about as much as an above average sized single family home.

I assume dumped on the yard would be the only delivery option.
