    I hope the Coin Star machine didn’t malfunction as Cory used it.

    That’s 1,030,315 pennies. It takes 145 pennies to make a pound. Divide 1,030,315 pennies by 145 and you get 7105.62 pounds. Multiply 7105.62 times the cost of copper per pound on 1/6/20 ($2.79) and you get $19,824.68. Which means that number of pennies on January 6, 2020 would be worth $9,521.53 more as scrap copper than as money.

    The villagers started to get pretty surly with the one family that had 11 girls and a 12th on the way.

    Survived 37 hours??? That doesn’t seem to be much of a feat.

    Wrapping herself in plastic bags would have made her overheat.

    I also have to ask: why did she just have hard candy and a bunch of plastic bags? Especially the plastic bags? What did she boil the candy in (a pot or a bag) and how did she boil it?? Besides, 37 hours isn’t all that amazing.
