Here’s how to solve the 1/5th problem the head gave him. The horse told him that he’d get 20% of what he asked for; if he asked for $1 million he’d get one million pieces of a one dollar bill. If he asked for a ton of gold he’d get a ton of some base metal. The solution is to ask for $1 billion worth of rare, misprinted items like stamps or ‘The Sinner’s Bible.’ If the stamps are perfect you can still sell them, and a 200 year old Bible is going to be worth a lot to any collector.
