1) Get liquid nitrogen.
2) Get rock hammer.
3) Freeze glass, then shatter.
4) Profit.
You can’t freeze glass, it’s already solid
Jimathon don’t understand science.
sorry but you dont understand science you can freeze glass but it only becomes brittle once you try to super heat it with a torch.
Here’s how you do it:
Blowtorch
Nitrogen
Blowtorch
Nitrogen
Hammer
1) It’s probably not real glass.
2) Even if it is glass, things become really brittle at super low temperatures, so it might work anyway.
The rules of this promotion were that you were only allowed to use your body and what you were wearing to try and smash the glass. (Anjd yes, that included steel-toed boots, which a lot of people tried to use, and failed). There looks like there was millions of dollars in the case, but there was actualy only about $500 of actual money in the container, (the rest was just green-colored blank paper). Oh, and there was a security guard standing by to prevent people from using blowtorches, diamond-tipped saws, sledgehammers, or other prohibited items. So nice try with the Liquid Nitrogen idea, not that it would have worked, but that wouldn’t have been allowed anyways.
I hate you right now.
Are you kidding? I love this guy now.
Glass is a liquid
Glass is an amorphous solid, not a liquid.
And why then do they say “pour me a glass”?
^^^WIN!
This.
That.
double double this this
It’s a lolsquid!
because “pour me an amorphous solid” doesn’t quite have the same ring to it?
Lexan is a polymer. And is not like glass at all. Other than it’s transparency.
lead is billion times less viscous-or a billion times more fluid, if you prefer than glass. meaning lead at standard temperature and pressure (0*C and 1 atmosphere) would flow 1,000,000x faster than glass.
Glass is not a liquid. That is an urban legend. It started when people noticed glass in old houses that were thicker at the bottom than at the top, and they assumed that glass was a liquid, that just flowed very, very slowly. Even my dad thought that. That isn’t true, however; the glass in old houses was thicker on the bottom because of the way it was made, not because it flowed that way later.
^I live in a 95 year old house. with 95 year old windows. The windows have quite clearly melted. Quite clearly. you can see where it has rippled.
It’s cool.
Glass used to be produced by spinning molten glass into a large(mostly flat) disc, of which panes were cut. The thicker edges are a result of panes cut near the edge and the thicker end being placed at the bottom when the pane was placed. The ripples are probably a side-effect of the spinning
Besides, if glass did noticably flow over time, antique telescope lenses would become warped, glass from even older times would show even more “flow” and obsidian(which is a glass) weapons/etc would have deformed and lost their edge
Burninating your brain with cold hard facts.
Yes, because actual thieves will not bring any tools with them. FACT.
Yes, because actual armed guards would not arrest you if you tried. FACT.
I would wear a battleship.
winnar.
+1
picket helmet anyone?
I i had a buzzsaw with me i wouldn’t be too concerned about the guard.
I would be through that in no time. Good thing I wear so many magnets at all times.
Beat the guard, blow the glass and get the 500$.
Just don’t get those instructions confused.
+1
It would still probably work either way!
Chris, you asked for it.
Get the glass, beat the $500 and blow the guard.
There, I said it.
So if i got spikes attached to my shoe and wore a hydraulic leg brace would that be allowed?
So you use half the liquid nitrogen on the security guard, then the rest on the security glass. Any back-up that shows up gets stabbed with the frozen shards of the previous guards.
I just visualized that. And lol’d
I now have less faith in this product if they wont even keep all real money in it.
Where is this located?
It’s called combat pragmatism.
Did the rules prevent removing what you are wearing and using it to attack? ‘Cause you could just wear a bomb there and take it off to blow the thing up…
Well if that’s the case, this should be a marketing ploy fail. If 3M really wanted to test there security glass and show people it was superior to others then they would let everyone throw all they have at it.
If I am in my car I am wearing it, so I can take that thing out with my car right?
YES! XD You sir, win 500 internets. Unfortunately, we don’t have any money for you v.v
What if you have a concealed carry license and just so happened to be wearing your gun about your waist?
http://okhistory.org/community/fic/files/2009/03/crampons.jpg
How about if I were wearing these?…
That may actually work… or the car that you’re driving, like @The_Dizzie said…
What if I’m not exactly there? What if I were a mile away looking at it through the scope of a .50 Sniper-Rifle? Would that count?
…what? you can freeze anything, liquid nitrogen flash freezes everything making glass brittle
But glass is already frozen. It was a liquid but then it cooled down and froze into a solid.
Nope, glass is actually a liquid.
Glass is a fluid not a liquid. Never has been, never will be.
Glass is an amorphous solid, not a liquid.
The “glass is a liquid” thing started because someone noticed that old stained glass windows were thicker on the bottom and jumped to the conclusion that the glass was “flowing” down.
In reality, the glass was made thicker at the bottom to strengthen the panes.
Actually the way glass was spun into a large disc in those times and panes cut from that. The outer edge was thicker and hence the pane with the 1 thicker edge was placed thick side down for stability
You’ve never lived anywhere that gets really really cold, have you? In bitter winter temperatures, when it gets way below zero outside, you can shatter a car window if you tap it with your keys just right.
Which actually in no way invalidates the fact that glass is already frozen. It’s probably true that it gets more brittle in the cold, and yet it’s still not a liquid at room temperature.
Actually glass isn’t a solid. It’s an amorphous solid which means it is in a state between solid and liquid.
WHY ARE WE HAVING THIS ARGUMENT?!?
It’s not an argument it’s an amorphous discussion.
well played
Glass is really a extremely slow moving liquid. main reason it keeps its form is a sealing coating over the glass. Example of a non sealed glass is at old colonial era houses. the windows as you will see are fatter at the bottom and skinny at the top.
No it isn’t. You may have heard that from someone knowledgeable, but they were wrong about this.
i’m really happy for you, imma let you finish, but solid objects still has atoms in motion in them, if you can get an item to a temperature where they won’t move anymore (Absolute zero, −273.15 °C) only then you may call it “solid”. i wonder if pounding with a sledgehammer would help though
Wrong, wrong, wrong. At that temperature it would be a Bose-Einstein condensate, not a solid (well, actually, at that temperature it can’t exist at all). And if that were true, the word “solid” would be completely useless. A solid is anything below its freezing point.
Glass is a liquid someone doesn’t keep up with science, but nitrogen still wouldn’t work… get a torch to heat up the Glass so it becomes a faster moving liquid then Profit..
That “someone” is you. Look it up.
glass is a liquid its just a very stiff liquid
It is not. Please refer to one of the many other comments explaining what it is.
Failing that, please explain where you are sourcing this fact from. If you say it is just common knowledge, I will likely explode.
In a word: NO. Glass is actually LIQUID sand. It is an amorphous solid, which, by definition, is a liquid. If you heat it, it loses some of it’s viscosity(a liquid’s resistance to flow). Likewise, if you cool it, it gains viscosity. If cooled slowly enough, it will transition to a solid.
its probably worth it to ram it with a car
So many options…
1.Take hyster forklift( 6 ton wil do )
2.From 20 meters, pedal to the metal
3.Forks together
4.Something WILL break
The forklift will break.
bullet proof/resistant only works once per hole. put a second bullet in the same place and you get a hole into it. add water and alkaseltzer, plug the hole, soggy profit!
XD I would LOVE to see this ^_^
I’d drive my car into it.
how much is your car worth?
http://cp.amspictures.com/buzz/location-advertising-creative-is-king/
Only had $500 in it and you could only kick it to break it.
I would check if it was real money first. If the money was real, I would unscrew the whole thing from the ground and take it home. Then I could see what I could do to break the thing.
I think a lot of the people here don’t understand that its PROBABLY NOT REAL MONEY
It is real money. I can tell by the ink color and I’ve seen a few bills in my day.
+100 internets.
only the top layer is real, the rest is fake just in case
if they have to plan for “Just in case”, is their product really that reliable?
It’s kind of like having a Lightning Rod on a Church Steeple.
no. and they also assume that people trying to break them wont use anything but their feet. so basically, “we are willing to bet $500 that most criminals wont be able to kick their way into your house”
Who cares if it’s real money or not, just destruct the case.
That would be fun.
Why don’t you just unscrew the frame?
Because there are no screws. It’s welded shut.
Because the armed guard would unscrew your face.
Here’s how to break the glass: FALCON KICK!
Would be fun for skateboarders or those guys that like going around doing flips off things.
I would find a way to brake that thing
That would probably only slow it down, not completely stop it (from protecting the cash).
I just have 2 words : HULK SMASH!
I would wear Chuck Norris.
wat none of you have blow torch boots
That will most certainly do!
Chuck Norris was already here. Why do you think it’s just the fake money left?
besides…no one wears Chuck Norris….He wears everyone else.
DS, +1000 Iternetz. You win, I am all out of internet.
I’d use my belt knife. And my torch lighter if need be.
Kamayamaya!!!
Oops… da money’s all burned.
WTF ?
did you by any chance mean Kame Hame ha from DragonBall ?
if so, lulz
You are doing it wrong! KAMEHAMEHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!
Dammit, I was going to make a dbz reference!
Actually, you could probably go right through the ‘glass’ if you accelerated your body up over 100MPH. Of course, you probably couldn’t really enjoy the money afterwards.
Simple steal the whole bus station!
Actual money in there was 500$, but if you really broke it by the rules you would get 3 millions $ from 3M who is manufacturer of the glass.
USE A CHAINSAW
What you do is run and kick the glass, then fall to the ground feigning a neck injury. Follow this up with a lawsuit and make more money than was in the glass to start with.
Your mind is evil.
Yes, but it’s a necessary evil.
But a good way to pay the bills in this jobless economy XD!
I love this.
Actually its a myth that glass is an amorphous solid. The original thought came from studying centuries old glass windows and noticing that the thickness of the glass increased always to the bottom of the window. Then years ago scientists discovered that the thickness difference was because of the way the windows were manufactured back hundreds of years ago and not because glass has amorphous properties.
No, glass is an amorphous solid. It’s a myth that glass is an extremely viscous liquid. It is most definitely an amorphous (non-crystalline) solid.
This was done in Vancouver. I passed it on the way to work. It had no logo then.
Rent a U-Haul
Run into it
Pick up the money
Then go pay for the U-Haul with the money
IMMA FIRIN MAH LAZAR!
O o

just sayin
SIR, your comment its a win XD
Find the lock they used to put it in, or will use to pull the money out… and pick the lock!
Heels with glasscutters in them… then cut teh glass and take teh money.
I’ve seen enough MacGyver to know how to break that
Wear metal spiked soles, wear elbow and knee pads and drop kick that thing repeatedly til you pass out.
I wish I could come up to it, place my palm close to the glass then explode it with my awesome telekinesis power.
If you body was the only thing you could use then whats the point of this? There is no way you could break it so they will never have to pay out. Great advertising, let’s but some money between some (Bulletproof?) glass or some other type of glass that can’t be broken with anything less than someone with some tools to prove how strong our glass is but force people just to use their body because we know we will win and it will make our product look awesome. Then when they buy it and someone uses a tool to break in they would realize what kind of douchebags we really are….
I have a sawsall that will cut right through that.
Protip: diamonds, sapphires and rubies can cut through glass. It may take a while, of course.
Just throw a red bird against it.. those beasts shatter anything.
Blue birds for glass….
or just drive a car into the whole thing
Shape charge = profit
Challenge accepted.
Ow.
Where’s Chuck Norris when you need him? Or did they ban him from this event?
Sadly, I live in Vancouver and someone eventually did get through the glass, to get fake money inside.
Either you’re misinformed or I need to make sure never to purchase –or allow anyone I know to purchase– 3M security glass
It was probably vacuum sealed as well. I once had a novelty “In case of emergency, break glass” tube with a cigarette in it. Thing had been vacuum sealed, making it virtually unbreakable due to the pressure. We even nailed it through a 2×4 trying to break it and…nothing. What finally opened it was a point-blank shot with a .45 pistol.
Wonder if anyone would try that if this contest were held in a concealed carry state, since you COULD use anything on your person, right?
why not just ram it with mah car!?
If only Sony had thought of that
When in doubt, c4.
*forwaqrds 400 internets to your bank account*
1.Let your retarded brother kick the window and make sure he gets hurt in the proces.
2.Sue the company from the advertisement for 1.000.000 dollars.
3.Be rich and let people do even more rediculous things for your own money.
A bit late….
Has anyone though about soundwaves?
The right frequency and the glass will shatter…
Easy
