Ian was meeting a friend to see a movie at the Palladium today. They got there early to get a drink before the movie but Ian had to make a quick run by the arcade first. His friend, Matthew, just laughed as Ian methodically searched every coin return and the floor of the premises. Tuesday night at a movie theater/bowling ally/arcade/bar is very slow and, as expected, the coin returns were proving worthless. However, in the corner away from all the other games was a Pacman Battle Royale game that Ian was zeroing in on. When he got there, Ian assaulted the coin return just as he was explaining to his friend about how ridiculous this whole thing was when he puled out a shiny quarter...from the Caiman Islands? What? That was a let down. On the way to the bar Ian and Mathew were talking about what the currency exchange is for this coin and how much lower than $0.25 US it was. Ian was trying to figure out how to make it turn into US currency because at this point in the project every penny counts. What do you think? How well does the Carmen Island dollar fare to the US? Is it 2 Caiman for every 1 US? 3 or 4? Nope, that night it was 1.22 US for every 1 Caiman. That means the 25 cent coin was worth 30.5 cents US. Wow! What a return!
 | Matthew wanting to help a friend decided to make a trade with Ian for 25 CENTS. The picture to the right is supposed to be the actual trade between the two. Not really exciting. Unfortunately for Matthew, this will prove to be a loss for him as he can't trade that money without paying fees above the 5.5 cent profit he stands to make. Poor guy. We win. Ian also found 10 CENTS at the concessions. |
Go see the Imitation Game
It was really good (duh were not going to tell you to see a lame movie). For being about 2 hours long, it didn't fell like it. You see, its not a action flick, or a romance, or cliche, or super comedic. It was just a good movie bases on an historical even about a real person. It's about the guy who solved the Enigma Device the Nazis were using to encrypt their messages during WWII. It was critical to the war effort to get this code cracked. Sometimes history is the best author and this movie proves it. It will be in our collection once it is for sale. There is really not much more to say because we're not movie critics so we'll stop there. Anyway were still on Step 11 with $6.36 with only $3.64 to go. Wish us luck.
