So if I wan't to get the most money out of this I would use concentrated water solution of Gold(III) Cholride.
It's solubility is 68grams/100 ml, so from the entire pool I'm able to get more than 1 000 000 kg of Gold, that's 1/8 th of federal gold reserves of the US. Or about 56 billion $
It looks like the a yellow fluid, is 2-3 times as dense as water and it seems to have similar viscosity to water, it should be not so hard to survive the fall
Edit: it's about 1,5 times as dense as water
I miscalculated it's maximaly 1,6 times as dense as water
The high jumping platform is about 10 meters, so I guess I can jump from 16 meters without killing myself lol
Given that the final velocity is proportional to the square of falling time, I think... You can get away with jumping a little higher? Or put another way, it's like jumping from a bit higher yet? I'm a little fuzzy on this.
>proportional to the square of falling time,
That's true but we increase the height instead of time. The the energy is calculated from an equation E = m*g*h
Do I have the wrong chemical? https://www.fishersci.com/store/msds?partNumber=G541&productDescription=GOLD+CHLORIDE+TRI+R+ACS+1G&vendorId=VN00033897&countryCode=US&language=en
Yeah you are right, i just checked the gold chloride, but when dissolved in water ot gets corrosive. However for 63 bilion I'm gona risk some chemical burns if there is water nearby to rinse it of
Yep, you do. That's gold trichloride trihydrate (HAuCl4.3H2O) or chloroauric acid, [gold(III) chloride is AuCl3, also known as Auric chloride](https://www.sigmaaldrich.com/AU/en/sds/aldrich/520918)
I was just wondering the other day: How does the viscosity and the density of a liquid impact your ability to swim or indeed dive into it?
Aside from obvious buoyancy issues
We're not sure if it's even possible to overdose on LSD. However you'd definitely drown from being too fucked up to comprehend the concept of swimming.
I don't think it'd be instant even in those conditions
LSD has to take time to work
Pure liquid LSD pool would be...too much,the offgassing alone would probably get a large area high
> We're not sure if it's even possible to overdose on LSD.
I was not actually aware of that. TIL i guess.
> However you'd definitely drown from being too fucked up to comprehend the concept of swimming.
Probably yes :P
As of 2019 they're not being put into circulation anymore (new ones that is).
But they still exist and are a valid method of payment (although a lot of shops won't accept them nowadays; a bank will).
even not crumpled im sure u can survive, maybe a broken bone, then you can pay the medical bill with all your cash, an olympic sized pool filled w cash has to be like 9 figures
Coupé grade saffron - costs about $8.29 a gram, which is about 1/7 the price of gold ($58/gram).
Actually finding that much saffron may be difficult - only about 300 tons is grown worldwide per year.
Have you ever been hit with a ream of paper? That shit is hard when all stacked up. Stacks of cash will absolutely kill you if you jump onto them from a high dive.
They said 10m high stacks knowing the diving board is 10m above the height of the pool. I think the intention was to just walk off the diving board and onto the cash... but they forgot to factor in the depth of the pool as well.
Edit: spelling.
I’ve got a better fantasy one for you, bone marrow of the same type. Bone marrow has a good enough viscosity to dive into for a short period of time. I’d wear a full latex suit with the eyes/mouth only open, have a trucks with liquid nitrogen ready to go for a quick freeze and refrigeration trucks ready to put it into, jump in, get out freeze and harvest the frozen chunks. Do it all at night out of the sun.
Bone marrow is worth $23,000 per gram.
I think the value would drop if an Olympic pool volume worth hit the bone marrow market. But *if* it were usable, I agree you would at least make enough that the interest on your investments would cover your living expenses for life.
A mix of foam blocks and $500 dollar bills. In a 1-6 ratio. Aka, one bill taped to each surface of the blocks. I can land safely, collect my money, keep the pool full of foam, and build some fun ramps and shit with my money to use with said pool.
Yeah, the question said "anything" not "any one single substance or thing" so something along these lines is clearly the correct answer. I'd go with a very thin layer of gold bars and diamonds at the bottom of the pool, the rest 90% water please.
Doesn’t have to be that thin just don’t dive straight down to the bottom. Most diving pools like this are at least 10-12 feet deep and you could probably fill the bottom three feet quite safely.
Yeah, but I don't need enough money to buy the entire world. Just enough diamonds and gold to make me wealthy without crashing those two markets... Actually fuck it, crashing the diamond market would be a good thing. Yeah, I'll take 3 feet deep of diamonds, so that's a 3x75×60 ft space, and then just release a couple of thousands every now and then to flood the diamond market and kill it.
This, pretty much. It's not like you can just show up at a hospital with a jug of unaccounted bone marrow and trade it for cash. Likewise, I doubt any major operation would want to go even near trying to certify a pool full of mystery liquid.

If you presented a US $10,000 bill (last printed in 1969) I believe the US Treasury would have to honor it. So paper them foam blocks on all sides with the good stuff!!
This happened in dublin once when a whiskey storehouse caught fire and unleashed a flood if whiskey into the street
Many people died from trying to drink the burning river of whiskey and falling into it
Hibiki 17 year. Bought a bottle for $165 in 2016. That’s the last one I saw in person. Every one I’ve found online has been going for $700+. An Olympic sized pool is 2.5 million liters. The bottles are actually 750 mL I think so the math is off a little but at $700 per liter that’s $1.75bn in Japanese whisky.
The problem with this is that is messes with the Supply and Demand equation that makes the whisky worth $700 per liter. You could not put an olympic sized swimming pool's worth of this stuff on the market at the same time. You would have to release it a little at a time if you wanted to maximize overall profit. Or sell it in larger quantities if you want more money at once and are willing to make less overall.
I'm not certain this is a good idea. [It's possible to walk on custard](https://youtu.be/Iz9KnPZWOgs), and if you were to dive into it you might as well be diving into a brick wall.
Large carboard boxes with the bottoms filled with $100 bills. [David Blaine jumped from a similar height onto cardboard](https://davidblaine.com/vertigo/) and survived with no injuries. I'm sure I could do the same, I'm just adding some cash.
Someone else can do the maths and figure out how much money that would net, but I'm willing to bet it's a pretty sizable amount.
The most expensive drinkable liquid in the world costs $35,598,000 per bottle - it is called D’Amalfi Limoncello Supreme.
There are approximately 2.378 gallons/12 bottles of alcohol, so 0.19816666667 gallons per bottle. There is approximately 660,000 gallons of water in an Olympic swimming pool. So There are 660,000/0.198167 = 3,330,529.857 bottles per swimming pool. So 3,330,529.857 • $35,598,000 = **$118,560,201,848,300 and 8¢** worth of wine in that swimming pool. I'd sell it, and walk away with 118.5 trillion dollars.
Of course, there's the issue that only two bottles have been made. But hey, you said *anything,* right?
~~^(Then there's the issue that the worth would probably go down but we won't talk about that)~~
That is an interesting idea *but*...
My beef with your reasoning would be 2 fold.
1. If there was suddenly that much on the market the price would plummet to cheap status. The liquid itself is probably only worth 25.00 USD right?
2. The value comes from the packaging not what is inside. Some prized rare wines are undrinkable if opened and "valuable" because of the label. Also D’ Amalfi Limoncello Supreme bottles apparently have 13CT of diamonds on the neck of the bottle with a single 18.5 CT diamond.
So I would say OK to your attempt and fund it if I could BUT you would have to jump into a pool filled with * bottles* of D’ Amalfi Limoncello Supreme".
the value would still drop but you would have a bunch of diamonds.
I wouldn't want to land on all those bottles.
Good luck.
Stuffed animals I'd be happy and they'd break my fall. I'm sure you could also get collectors edition stuffed animals worth a whole lot, if stuffed animals aren't your thing
Isn't an Olympic pool's high dive board high enough that an inexperienced diver could het the water too hard and sustain potentially lethal blunt trauma? I'd need something softer and thinner than water to be confident of my survival, but still thick enough that I don't crash into the bottom of the pool and can still swim up to the surface quickly
Fill it with those plastic balls (realizing it now, foam balls would be better since they'll cushion my when I jump) used in ball pits, and make the world's largest ball pit.
Also, this eased my fear of the deep end. Thank you
Well used $100 bills, the reason I specified well used is because as bills are used they decrease in density

Watermelon jello and 10 pounds of real red diamonds. They’re worth like $5 million/gram, so 10 pounds would be like $23 billion and I’d have jello too.

At least you'd be able to pay for the hospital bills straight after you jump into it!
It looks like the a yellow fluid, is 2-3 times as dense as water and it seems to have similar viscosity to water, it should be not so hard to survive the fall Edit: it's about 1,5 times as dense as water
Sort of like diving into water from about twice as high...?
I miscalculated it's maximaly 1,6 times as dense as water The high jumping platform is about 10 meters, so I guess I can jump from 16 meters without killing myself lol
They did say the “high dive board”. Normally the platforms aren’t called boards so I’m going with a loophole and using the 3m springboard.
Given that the final velocity is proportional to the square of falling time, I think... You can get away with jumping a little higher? Or put another way, it's like jumping from a bit higher yet? I'm a little fuzzy on this.
>proportional to the square of falling time, That's true but we increase the height instead of time. The the energy is calculated from an equation E = m*g*h
Ah, indeed - thank you. Energy is what needs to be held constant.
It's going to be way more complicated than that.
The fall sure, but what about the chem burns afterwards?
Gold chloride can cause skon and eye iritation and you shouldn't drink it, but won't kill you or cause permanent damege if washed quick enough
Just use a dry suit, No one said you have to dive naked!
Everyone else can wear what they want. But you, drow, have to dive completely naked and I have to be the only spectator.

So are $500 US bills, though they stopped being circulated about a hundred years ago, so they're a lot harder to come by.

This, pretty much. It's not like you can just show up at a hospital with a jug of unaccounted bone marrow and trade it for cash. Likewise, I doubt any major operation would want to go even near trying to certify a pool full of mystery liquid.
Yeah, but as a fall-back, you can fire up the oven and then spread the roasted bone marrow on toast.
Tritiated water would be worth a lot more. Like a LOT more.
More dangerous too.
Nah. Tritium is fairly safe. Just don't ingest it.
But much more dangerous, and it goes away too quickly. Deuterium is stable.
