Question 1153617: I got an email.
I'm getting $50,000,000,000 for some reason.
Fortunately, it's via an ATM card, as $50B in US $100's would weigh a few 100 tons.

1 restriction, tho is I can withdraw from an ATM only $50,000 per day.
How long would it take for me to extract $50B at that rate.
And how long would it take an ATM to spit out $50,000?
