I imagined a hell of alot more when I played this part in the VN

I thought it would, you know, fill up the room.

10 tons is a hell of a lot of gold.

>>3499436
R07 was just exaggerating. That's what the pile of gold actually looked like.

gold is very heavy.

>>3499483

and glowing gold is even heavier

> Old. I already read this on the far superior http://www.anertalk.com/ (aner = anon) last night.
What are you talking about?

People still watch this?

>>3499483

It'd be about half a cubic meter, BEFORE being split into ingots.

i imagined the gold to fill up the entire half of a room.

No point in finding gold,some guys in florida found a sunken ship about 5 years ago,and I think it was Spain? Claimed it as their ship and took it all.

I enjoy seeing Umineko animated, even if it's not the best adaption.

The only reason gold is worth so much because it is rare, maybe in some parallel earth gold is worthless and steel is worth more.

>>3499530
THANK YOU FOR EXPLAINING SIMPLE ECONOMY TO US, CAPTAIN OBVIOUS.

>>3499530
Gold is worth so much mostly for historical reasons - there's plenty of materials rarer than gold (e.g. silver) that aren't as valuable.

Unfortunately the fact that gold is used as a 'money' standard has the side effect of inflating its cost, which is annoying because it makes gold expensive to use for the limited number of things it is actually useful for.

Gold is worth so much because its shiny.

I EAT GOLD.

You mean Kelewan?

There has been an era in which Western traders got their gold from America, brought it to Europe to trade it for a shitload of silver. Which they brought to China, to retrade it for gold again, because silver used to be way more valuable than gold in China.

>>3499594
How many years did this process take? Wow.

>>3499566

Lol, sliver more rare then gold who you trying to troll? As you can tell gold is yellow, sliver is white.

Chinese > White People

That isn't even 1 ton worth of gold, let alone 10 tons. God this show is bad.

>>3499617
>That gold isn't worth 1 ton of gold.
Wut.

>>3499619
....Technically there's nothing incorrect, except perhaps politically. About this statement.

One of the main reasons for gold being so expensive is it's ability to resist corrosion and not reacting with most substances.
Basically you can make ageless coins or other items out of it.

>>3499633
I doubt the amount shown would equal up to 1 ton of gold.

I don't see what's wrong with that, unless you have some amazing skill to tell exact weight by eyeballing a 2-dimensional drawing of an object I doubt you know the average weight of without googling. ಠ_ಠ

NO, I EAT GOLD

I found a few gold rings metal detecting with my dad, only money I ever made.

>>3499617
I don't think you are very able to evaluate the weight of an ingot.

>>3499617
It's way over 1 ton worth of gold. But it's not quite 10 tons either. It seems to be more around 5 tons or so.

>>3499665
>>3499663

Okay? That doesn't make me any less wrong about the rest of my statement, thanks for saying I'm right?

>>3499634

Wrong again.

>>3499667
Okay?

>>3499667
The show might be bad but I wouldn't trust you to sell my gold.

>>3499653
>some amazing skill to tell exact weight by eyeballing a 2-dimensional drawing of an object
Not exact, but a rough estimate.
If you count the dimensions of the pyramid, you can estimate how many bars there are.
If you know the weight of gold per bar, you can easily estimate the total weight.

Animesukifags already did the math.

>>3499663

Each ingot SHOULD be 10kg.

Which means there should be 1000 ingots (if it's tonnes and not short tons).

>>3499655
oh whoops, english wikipedia doesn't have his death's circumstances - so here's it from the german one:

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hanno_%28Elefant%29#Hannos_Ende

The animal (it's intestines were) was completely clogged so the doctors decided to treat him with a laxative which they - as usual back then - enriched with a large quantity of gold, even upping the dose because of the elephant's size

>>3499665

Wow you can clearly see each gold bar is "x" kg/lb.

I don't know who this CurryButt !CIELBE/jzM is but he smells like an ass so I will filter him.

>>3499672
Sorry for not paying attention in my precious metals and sales class.

>>3499677

You must be stupid then.

>>3499676
It's 1000k tons, not whatever weird variety you yanks use.
Japs use metric.
Also, this ingot pyramid seems to have some depth, suggesting that there might be two or more rows of ingots.
Lastly, independently of the specified weight, such an ingot would weigh well over 10kg.

There isn't even 100 ingots there, and it looks extremely flat thanks to the amazing art, so I can't say I believe there's any more behind it.

I refuse to believe that this, I counted around a little less than 60, ingots is equal to anything more than at the very most 1-3 tons. ಠ_ಠ


If you're going to talk about literal and exact measurements - take a look at the picture, those bars are far from being the exact same size as one another meaning their weight is not the same either. Meaning real-life measurements of perfectly done gold ingots would be wrong - as these shittily drawn bars of disproportionate gold are far from being the same weight and size as one another. ಠ_ಠ

>>3499450
the bars in the anime are extra dense

shouldn't there also be a large portion hidden by the bed

I like how you're all discussing the finer points of how much weight is actually there. What you should be wondering is how on earth a bed is holding it up.

>>3499704
It's behind the bed, not on it.

>>3499696
Bars can weigh up to 250kg.

>>3499704
It's behind the bed.

And as>>3499703 said there is probably a lot hidden behind the bed as well.

maybe theres more gold behind the curtains

Wow think outside of the box, there is gold under the bed too, how you think the bed is holding out?

>>3499710
If you want to be exact, the crest being engraved on them would take out a small bit of the weight.

And again, look at the image, those ingots are nowhere near the same size, you can't tell me I'm expected to believe DEEN gold weighs the same as real gold ingots when this gold doesn't even hold its form or shape properly. You guys say theres an average weight...but look at that bottom right corner and then the one next to it, that fucker is HUGE compared, and this is true throughout the stack of them. So yeah.

If you're going to be accurate, do it fully. Don't half ass it.

>>3499717

Retard, how you think the floor is holding up then?!

>>3499736
The crest isn't engaved, it's stamped.
All it does is compress the metal.
No weight is lost.

>>3499741

Wrong you can lose mass to the air. If each gold bar been in that room for months it is possible to "lose" 0.000001% of mass.

>>3499747
The gold hasn't been there for months.
The servants clean the place all the time and haven't seen it.

>>3499754

>>3499754

Well good point, but I have to say it can't be 10 tons of gold because it is not shape as a pyramid. Clearly the so called "servants" been helping themselves to some gold bars.

herp derp wall of gold

>>3499766

Wrong that is sliver bars colored in yellow.

>>3499766
That just looks like the pile of gold close up not a wall of gold

>>3499777

That is not gold. Gold don't have those funny looking lines, clearly this is a picture.

>>3499766
This gold isn't worth much.
Kinzo forgot to ask for the antialiasing option.

Well 10 tons of gold bars would be about 900 bars. Someone counted it out and theres about 800 bars of gold in that pile. So yeah.

>>3499787

Some of the gold was stolen its not shape as a pyramid.

Didn't Kinzo receive 10 tons of gold?
It would make sense that there's less than 10 tons.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have a debt to pay.

>>3499811
Beatrice is lazy and thinks killing people is rightly easier than moving around 10 tons of gold.
