I like how there's so many comments about the value of the cube, and no two comments have the same value.

Let’s say that cube is 4.5’ a side. That’s 91.125 cu ft. Tungsten weighs 1,201.738 lb/cu ft. Which means the cube weighs 109,508.38 lb.

That’s an impressively sturdy floor.

Currently, tungsten is selling at about $340 USD/ton.

The block weighs 54.7542 tons.

So this is indeed a decent prize at $18,616 USD.

All you have to do to claim your prize is get it home.

Edit: corrected to a less whelming but still difficult to transport prize thanks to chiliedogg.

NCD would probably be delighted to have something that can be turned into multiple rods from god

I just looked it up; assuming that thing's about 5ft³, that thing is worth like $54,000. Granted, you're going to need somebody to come haul it off, but at 10.66k per cubic foot, I'd say it's not a bad prize.

If I had one of those in my living room, my house would collapse.

Please deliver this to my moon base

2/10 Prize 8/10 Prize if delivery is included

I can put it in the front yard, spray paint it gold, and start a neighborhood cult around The Cube.

This could possibly be the worst possible prize. Raw tungsten isn’t actually that expensive. What’s expensive is working with it as it melts 3,410c (6,170f) isn’t very malleable and is heavy like really really heavy to move this block you will probably need larger equipment than standard industrial moving equipment, bigger trucks and loaders also you’ll need to get the city's permission to haul it on the roads , that alone is probably going to cost more than the cube is worth you will then have to pay a monthly storage fee until someone wants to buy it. Shouldn’t be that long right? It’s a valuable metal… well good luck finding a company that works with tungsten outside of china, and you absolutely can not ship it. But let’s assume you find someone who wants it(at a considerable discount) well now you have to higher the specialized movers again.

EDIT:

Actually I just did the math and plugged in all the known values I could find and assuming you could sell it within the first year you could probably make $700,000, so it would still be well worth it. But a lot of trouble.
