Question #3 Nickels
You are kidnapped by extremely evil people. They sit you in front of a giant bag of nickels. These are modern-day plated nickels, not the old solid ones. They have a man in the other room who will eat nickels. They say that if you can eat more nickels than him, they'll let you go free. If he eats more than you, you'll be killed in a horrible, painful way. These are not nice people! Your life depends on you eating as many nickels as possible in the span of an hour.
How many nickels can you eat, then, now that your life depends on it?

you know that family guy episode where peter tries to set the world record in nickel-eating, but ends up going blind? for the sake of argument, i will assume eventual blindness is not a concern here, because that would skew my answer slightly.
i will also assume i would also be able to drink some sort of slippery substance that would allow me to swallow the nickles at a clip. maybe ice cream, because this would also serve in numbing my throat.
i can say with confidence, i would be able to eat $4 in nickles. 80 nickles. i want to say more, but i am afraid that by that point, my digestive tract would be acting as a coin roll of sorts.
I don't want to limit my nickle eating. I would eat as many as I could choke down to try not to die.
I think you would die either way. Their is no way one person could pass all those nickels with totally Effing up yourwhole steeze.
But to answer the question, I would eat 100 nickels.
just like a supermarket or a bank, i refuse to eat loose nickels. not that i have any objection to their lifestyle, i just don't think it's too time consuming for me to be left tallying how many nickels i am eating. because of this, i refuse to eat any nickels that aren't pre-rolled. with the appropriate amount of gravy i am assuming i can eat six logs of nickels, twelve dollars in nickels or one hundred in twenty nickels. amy and andy, you'd better hope it's not me in the next room 'cause i'm hungry. mmmmnnn... chicken fried nickels.
There's no way of telling ahead of time how many nickels you could eat if your life depended on it. It's like being able to lift a car. Of course I couldn't lift a car right this moment, but I've been told if my baby were trapped underneath the car and it was a life and death situation, I could totally lift it.
I could eat about 40 nickels. I think i could eat a lot more if I had something to wrape around them, like cake.
