I had a chance at this but @edelweiss.xipha.social decided to argue with me about "what are you going to do with a tungsten cube" instead of helping me with the math questions and we ran out of time.
What would I do with a tungsten cube? WHAT COULDN'T I DO WITH A TUNGSTEN CUBE.

The owner of this business is a old, wonderful friend & a former employer of mine, so please, I need all of my Pacific Northwest followers keeping an eye out for this stuff, especially if you run in nerd circles, so that his dream business, built via decades of grinding, can keep running.
KIRO 7 ran an article and two TV pieces on the theft of a box truck full of arcade PCBs, artwork, and machines from my workplace yesterday. If anyone in the Seattle area sees someone offloading a ton of CPS2/NAOMI/Neo Geo PCBs, stuff of that nature, please reach out.
