#6:Treasure Chest Problem: Someone offers to give you a million dollars($1‚000‚000) in one-dollar ($1) bills. To receive the money‚ you must lie down; the million one-dollar bills will be placed on your stomach. If you keep them on your stomach for 10 minutes‚ the money is yours! Do you accept the offer? Solution: Each dollar bill weighs 1 gram‚ if we multiply 1gram by 1‚000‚000 dollars we get a weight of 1‚000‚000 grams. If there are 454 grams in a pound then $1‚000‚000 will equal 2202 pounds

Coleridge’s strong addiction with opium‚ and the moral collapse that followed. In the poem this is illustrated by the momentary passive action of the mariner‚ which lead to a life of misery‚ ridden in guilt‚ seeking for redemption.
