A pop top and a scale

[Duckshot]

Anybody got a pop/beer can lid and a scale? I would like to figure out how many pop tops to equal a penny at fifty cents a pound.

Thanks.

1,600 pull tabs to the pound according to Ronald McDonald House.

You say can lid, then you say pop top, are we talking about a pop tab?
Nvm.

1,600 pull tabs to the pound according to Ronald McDonald House. So, 1/50th of 1,600 is 32 tabs = 1¢

Yeah, pull tabs.

Charlie is saying there are about 1,000 to the ounce. Can anybody verify that?

Who's got ten pop tabs to weigh? Should come out to slightly more than 1/4 gram if Ronald is right.

No, 1,600 to the pound (100 to the ounce). If you can't trust Ronald McDonald who can you trust?

So ten might be 2.8 grams, it that redheaded clown is correct.

7,000 grains to a pound/1,600 tabs to a pound = 0.22857 grains per tab. That's 22.8 grains for 10 tabs.

One gram is 15.44 grains (453.59 grams = 7,000 grains = 1 pound).

The redheaded clown says 100/oz.

One pound is 16 ounces, 453.6 grams to the pound, 28.35 grams to the ounce.

2.84 grams per ten.

An ounce is 437.5 grains.

I think? And, we still don't know if the redheaded clown is correct.
