I'm filing this under "Google sucks and I HATE MATH!" Here's my thing:
Long story short, I'm designing my own tombstone that will send my survivors on a clue hunt (a la Robert Langdon, only not nearly as fast paced) to an ultimate reward of US $1,000,000. I'm going to have a custom-made box to hold the money in, but I don't know how big to make the interior. So if anyone can tell me it would help out a lot! Here's the information:
1. The size of a US $100 bill is 6.6294 cm in width by 15.5956 cm in length by 0.010922 cm in thickness.
2. The standard stack of $100 bills is 100, resulting in each stack being valued at $10,000.
3. There are a total of 100 stacks (a grand total of 10,000 $100 bills) resulting in an overall value of $1,000,000.
And now the problems:
1. Give me the minimum size of a container's interior, in inches only, to hold all the money in the smallest possible box shape. There's more than one solution to this but I'm looking for a brick shape, for example the interior of a jewelry box or treasure chest.
2. Give me the exact arrangement the stacks of bills are placed in to include placement within the box and position within the box (lengthwise or widthwise) for one layer (assuming the other layers will be exactly the same).
Thanks in advance!
