How much money could I earn in eight hours picking up nickels four at a time?

Question

A friend said he earns twenty cents per question answered working as a web search site guide. I told him it sounds almost as unproductive as picking up nickels four at a time. That's when I wondered, how much money could I earn in eight hours picking up no more than 4 nickels every time I stooped down to grab some more.

Answer 1

well, each time you would pick up 20c, it depends how fast you are, because you could be really slow and nor even pick up any, or really fast and pick up millions....... there is no answer!

Answer 2

lets say 1 nickel every 3 seconds..

A LOT more than most people

Answer 3

Well, let's say you pick up 4 nickels for 1 minute, (wow, that's really slow), and since 4 nickels equal to 20 cents, that means:

20x60=3000=30.00

30.00x8=240.00

So you would probably have about $240.00 after picking up 4 nickels for 8 hours.
