This is starting to sound like an adventure game puzzle.
You are a security guard at the Moscone Center in San Francisco. There are hundreds of dollars inside a six hundred pound block of ice. You cannot leave your station. How do you get at it?
Using an ice pick? Why would a security guard have an ice pick? Maybe if it were Chicago, but this is San Francisco.
Use another tool to chip away at it? I dunno, that's a lot of ice.
Melt the ice somehow? Nice idea, but how?

- mikeryan 16y agostore it somewhere private and warm, then wait. This is why he needed the pallet mover.
- hugh3 16y agoProbably sensible, if you can obtain a pallet mover. Though there should be one of those in any large convention center for setting up displays and so forth... you'll have to split the loot with the guy in charge of it though. It also requires the security guard to have access to a private place with a large door whose floor won't be damaged when six hundred pounds of water gushes onto it.
- vinhboy 16y agoThere are enough homeless people on that corner to pee the ice to ice-tea. For reals.

- yellowbkpk 16y agoPush the brick over, let it shatter. Faster melting and free access to (some of) the money. Finally, find all the nearby salt shakers and pour their contents on it.
- evgen 16y agoUse your handy comm system to call several beefy buddies and take the "trash" that someone has left on the building property down to a safe location in the building, and then tell everyone that dinner is being paid by some dumb startup after a bit of ice melts...
- jacquesm 16y agoMelting a chunk of ice that size will take a long long time.
- billclerico 16y agoaccording to our tests, about 3-4 days
- jacquesm 16y agoI figured as much, that's not going to be in time for dinner. Unless you like your dinner cold. (pun somewhat intended). When will you guys do international payments ?
- billclerico 16y agointernational payments is our top requested feature. unfortunately, there are a ton of product & regulatory hurdles that stand between us and our goal. we're steadily marching towards it, but we have a lot of work to do here at home in the U.S. before we can expend the resources necessary for international expansion. i don't have a date for you, unfortunately.
- nowarninglabel 16y agoI hope you are this diligent about all your tests =)
- evgen 16y agoOnly if you decide not to increase the surface area through the judicious use of a hammer...
- points 16y agoPut a macbook on top of it for 10 minutes.
