This man weighed his gold not on a calibrated scale, but his coins in grains of rice, took the avg. weight of a single ricegrain and was able to figure out exactely how many grains of rice his gold was equal to using a battery and a ruler to balance them perfectly. Cody sure makes the most of what he has got, and that's why we like Cody.

"I don't have water, so I'll use pure muric acid". "Turns out the PH was too low". "My balance doesn't weigh grams, so I'll just use a ruler, rice and algebra".

+Tropicalfrooploops Cody needs to get on this quickly. Although it would be really expensive, almost as much as a real sword. It also depends on the specific charge of the iron, since the charges vary in the transition metals. Depending on the charge, you would need different substances to react with the iron or the other impurities, so that the iron is pure. One easy way to get the iron out is to just crush the cereal into a powder, and put it in a plastic bag with water, and wave a neodymium magnet around. The iron collects on the areas surrounding the magnet.
