@harisaslam,
i tried this out just now, i went to the kitchen were we keep a jar of coins on the counter by the back door, i flipped a coin, which eluding my attempt to catch it, is now firmly lodged in the sink drain

so far the value of the equation is $0.25 for the coin and roughly $200 for the plumber
