Option A you get $1,000
Option B you get the ability to skip a rock at 500,000km/hr, but it only happens on the 5th skip. So you still obviously need a body of water, a rock, and the skill the skip it 5 times

Well which would you take?

A man died in *Guide's town* today when a rock flew up out of a pond at near-relativistic speeds. The rock proceeded to destroy city hall and a grocery store.

There are no suspects yet, but one man was seen skipping rocks for the 72 hours leading up to the death, while several thousand other rocks flew out of the out of the lake, missed the victim and destroyed the entire city except for city hall and a grocery store.

Experts are unsure why the victim stayed in the same spot for 72 hours or why he was not frightened away by the ascending meteor shower.

More to come as the story develops.

That's beyond artillery, that's beyond rail gun level of speeds.
500,000 kph = Mach 404.923874

Speed of Light = 1,079,252,848.8 kph

500,000 kph = 0.046328346555298895774385654788183c

That's literally Death Star levels of power.

I'll take it!!

Power; just start skipping rocks across the ocean and start taking out random shit across the globe. Technically 1 properly done one could infinitely skip until it exploded from friction/impact.

Once you start getting it to 500,000 kph, it's literally going Mach 404.923874.

https://www.popularmechanics.com/military/navy-ships/a32291935/navy-railgun-failure/
Railguns use magnetic fields created by high electrical currents to accelerate a projectile to Mach 6, or 5,400 miles an hour. The velocity is sufficient to give the EMRG an effective range of 110 nautical miles, or 126 miles on land.

That's a HUGE ass aerodynamic metal spike going Mach 6 has a range of 110 natuical miles.

Imagine what a nicely polished disc shaped stone could do @ Mach 404.92

I'll do a linear extrapolation with Mach 404 as the base speed and the decimal after would be effective loss through heat, noise, and friction assuming the rock stayed in one piece for "magical reasons".

404 x 110 = Range of attack = 44,440 Nautical miles.

Earth's Circumference is ~ 21,600 Nautical miles.

There's nothing on Earth you can't target and eradicate.

Actually, could a skipping stone even handle that speed? Even bullets are anywhere from 1,200-4,400mph. This rock will go 310685mph. It'd probably just explode at the fifth skip, although anything near it would get rekt.

Assuming this "Magical Stone Skipping Power" protects the stone while it travels to it's target.

Kinda like "The Speed Force" from "The Flash".

Well considering the rocks would be flying at over 400 times the speed of sound they probably would

I've done the math and considering a 50 gram rock, it will have 482 megajoules of kinetic energy or the equivalent of 0.115 tons of TNT (a ton of TNT being 4.184 gigajoules). Give me the power!

Wouldnt the rock just disintegrate almost instantaneously at that speed? Stuff burns up in the upper atmosphere at a fraction of that speed, where the atmosphere is a fraction of the density compared to at sea level.

Id think the rock would just skip 4 times and then thered be a mini explosion.

wait, does it go from "speed of a fast pitched rock" to 500,000kmph the instant the rock hits its fifth skip? if so you're talking about a monstrous amount of force.
