How much money is here?

No cheating! Scroll down when you're ready to guess.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If you:

  1. Looked at the pile of money for about 15 seconds then said to yourself, "I don't know, maybe $10,000 - $15,000".

Then you're probably not a geek.

If you:

    1. Opened the picture up in a paint program so you could zoom in and see the denominations (or used one of the various magnifying glass apps).
    2. Then counted the number of piles.
    3. Tried to estimate how thick each pile of money was based off of some other aspect of the picture.
    4. Then did a Google search to figure out how thick a dollar bill is (or went old school and grabbed a micrometer and did some tests).
    5. Finally calculated the total.

Then you're a geek.

If you're still not sure whether you're a geek or not...

 

If you're annoyed that I haven't told you how much money is there, or you just don't care, then you're not a geek.

If you're annoyed that I haven't told you how much money is there because you want to know whether you're estimate was right or wrong, or if you just don't care because you've already answered the question, then you're a geek.
