What is the penny challenge?

Let me explain.

This past summer I crossed America starting from just one penny.

Every meal, every hotel, and every flight was bought by trying money-making methods, from selling water bottles, to delivering food, to mowing lawns.

However, I never once stepped foot in New York City, the commerce capital of the world.

Every day, 2.6 billion dollars is in circulation here.

So, using the best money-making methods in existence, How much of that could you capture with one hour and one penny?

There's only one man for that job.

Over here.

One sec.

Right there.

Yep.

I'm doing a penny challenge speedrun.

Alright.

Three, two, one.

Excuse me, do you guys have a pen by chance?

Pen?

Hey, no worries.

All good.

No, sorry.

That's okay.

I should probably mention that you aren't watching my first attempt at this speedrun.

I've actually done seven attempts before this, meaning you're watching the absolute best one.

Down to the minute.

And, I'm running into people I've already seen before.

Hey, do you guys have a pen on you by chance?

Oh my god.

I'm asking this sign over.

Do you have a pen?

We've asked you like many times.

Like, bro, is this an NPC?

Oh, can I buy it off you?

Cheers.

Thank you so much. Of course.

You guys are awesome.

Oh my god.

You guys, I'm selling a pen for a dollar.

No. That's okay.

Imagine?

Trying to do an experiment where I see how much money I can make in an hour from a penny.

Oh, I'm afraid you've failed here.

I've failed here?

Okay, that's okay.

That's alright.

About two and a half minutes into the speed run, my plan right now is to sell this pen for a dollar to someone, and then play rock, paper, scissors with someone double or nothing to get to two dollars.

Because that will allow me to buy three water bottles, which I can sell for two dollars each, and get to six.

I've thought this through.

And these gentlemen look like they're having a good time.

Let's do this.

You have a dollar?

Yeah.

Okay, wait.

This is perfect.

Take this.

Yeah.

Now can I do rock, paper, scissors for a dollar?

Okay.

Double or nothing.

Alright.

I've lost three times doing this speed run.

Alright.

Here we go.

Two out of three.

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

Whew.

Alright.

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

Oh ho ho!

Alright, here we go.

Rock, paper, scissors, shoot.

Oh my gosh!

Thank you so much!

You're insane.

I have to go.

I have a plan.

Guys, I love you.

I'm doing a speed run.

I'm running out of time.

You guys are awesome.

We're running.

Excuse me.

Oh my god.

I got two dollars!

Alright, alright, here we go.

We're running.

Just try not to get hit by a vehicle.

We are under four minutes into this speedrun, and I am already sprinting to a discount store to buy water bottles.

This is incredible, but don't worry.

I'm not letting the excitement get to my head, okay?

We're doing really well on time right now.

I'm having so much fun.

I think I have to run like two blocks.

Which is quite a bit.

Especially in New York without the traffic.

You guys have no idea how many attempts it's taken to get to $2.

100

We're almost there.

101

Fifth Ave dollar discount.

102

For the past two days I've absolutely investigated the store, and $2 for three waters is one of the best deals I could find.

103

However, there's about to be some workplace drama.

104

Howdy.

105

I know, I'm buying three waters.

106

One more?

107

I only have two bucks.

108

$2.25?

109

Do they have the deal?

110

Because two for one ten.

111

Yeah.

112

And one is cent in tax.

113

That's why it's going to 75 cents.

114

You're going to get $0.75.

115

She's super nice to me.

116

Because I calculated here, 2 for 110.

117

She charged you 75.

118

You crazy?

119

Here you are, 5 cents back.

120

Yes!

121

Woo!

122

I love you guys.

123

You guys are great.

124

Thank you so much.

125

Bye guys!

126

Woohoo!

127

Let's go.

128

It was $1.95 total.

129

We got this.

130

Dude, that was the craziest workplace drama I've ever seen.

131

My next money-making method requires that I make enough money to rent a bike.

132

So I have to sell these water bottles ASAP.

133

Alright, I'm gonna start selling.

134

Hey guys, I'm selling these water for two bucks.

135

Thoughts?

136

Oh, you've already got water?

137

You wanna support a local business or...?

138

Support a local business.

139

Okay.

140

We got our first sale.

141

Beautiful.

142

What was your name, man?

143

I'm Jared.

144

Jared, you're awesome.

145

I'll buy one.

146

You want one?

147

Yeah, yeah.

148

You want one or two?

149

No, thank you.

150

I love this, Jared.

151

You want one?

152

That's good.

153

Alright, two bucks?

154

Hey guys, appreciate you.

155

Oh, the city bikes are right here.

156

You guys just set me up for success.

157

I'm telling you.

158

I'm gonna go rent a bike and do a food delivery.

159

Alright, cool.

160

Don't be shocked when I start sprinting, alright?

161

Oh gosh, which way?

162

Am I gonna get hit by a car?

163

45 minutes remaining, our next money-making method is all reliable food delivery.

164

I made enough money to rent a city bike, which is $3.99 plus tax, and with perfect timing, I just got a uber customer.

165

I'm gonna go deliver a food or foods, plural.

166

Dude, sold all three before we got back to Times Square.

167

The store is right over there.

168

174

175

Oh, there's only like two left.

176

So this bike is $3.99 for 30 minutes.

177

178

Just waiting on the bike to go, so.

179

There it is.

180

All right, I'll see you later Preston.
