Slow traveler

with 2 comments

I used to mark up currency to play "Where’s George?" and I just got an email: a $20-bill that I marked and released has been reported. I spent it in Monterey and it turned up in Oakland, a distance of 87 miles. I released it 4 years, 245 days, 19 hours, and 5 minutes before it was reported, so it traveled about 1/2 mile/day.

  1. You know I’m not good at math, but 1/2 mile a day can’t be right. I make it .05 per day. Did you just miss the 0?

  2. Yep. :( And I failed to look at the answer and say “Is that reasonable?”

    Bad job on me.
