If you're wagering here, you may want to consider my market @ http://www.hubdub.com/m9419/Water_remaining_worlds_largest_pool_filled_with_enough_gold_to_pay_to_fix_Global_Warming

It is also (ultimately) about the price of gold but with a few twists. My market is asking how much water would remain in the World's largest pool if you dumped gold bars into into, enough gold bars to "pay" to fix global warming.
