    Boy, that's the last time I ask you guys a math question!
    Previously I queried:

    Today's Math Quiz:
    The Zapruder family was paid $16,000,000 (yes:sixteen million) for the
    28 second assassination footage.
    That's $571,428.57 a second.
    But how much per foot? (18fps)

    Mr Answer says:
    At 18 fps X 28 sec = 504 frames div by 72 fr per ft = 7 feet
    $16 million div by 7 =
    $2,285,714.20 per foot.

    And I thought Titanic was expensive...

    Gee, how come it's so less expensive per second?
    (Duh...)

    It's raining again.

    Psst!!

    Old 8mm cameras runs at 16 fps. Not 18 fps!
    18 fps is the normal speed for Super 8 film.
