2023 LC Thread - It was predetermined that I would change the thread title (Part 1)

hope zero doesn’t hit

You have to get to casino and make and complete the bet in 30 min. No chance.

Go to a bank and buy some treasury bonds

Also don’t see how you accomplish this in 30 min.

Does ordering something online count? Like does the cc processing time factor in?

That’s what I was thinking. Maybe hit up a jewelry store? Hard to think of something where you can push that much volume of cash in such a short amount of time and maximize your value without having something pre set up. I’m assuming there’s got to be some stipulation like can’t just put it in your bank account.

You have cash though. So online only works if you have a credit card that can charge a million.

Actually I would invest half of it in low risk mutual funds and then take the other half over to my friend Asadulah who works in securities.

Give it to a close friend or relative. Call it payment for services if necessary.

Are we in a metro area? Location is kind of key here.

I think racing to a car dealer and buying 10 ev’s is plausible.

Vanguard Total Market

OK assuming I can’t buy any financial instruments I’d drive to a friend’s house who has the nicest house. I’d explain the situation to him and draw up a contract for him to sell his house to me for the million dollars. Hand him the cash and we can work out the details later.

Well obviously first I’d send ~$300k to the IRS.

This challenge really should use Brewster’s rules.

I think driving to a car dealership is your best bet.

Also time.

If I got it now? It would be tough. It’s almost 11 PM on a Tuesday. Places that sell big ticket items aren’t open.

That seems high but they probably investigate every brown-skinned kid as a matter of policy

Assume you are home and it’s noon.

Is there a store where I can buy everything in cash and then return for a refund?

Do I live in Beverly Hills? Cuz this is trivially easy if so.

Pretty sure I already solved this in the easiest possible way and everybody is offering up much more complicated solutions.
