A golden-colored cube is handed to you. The person wants you to buy it for $100, saying that is a gold nugget. You pull out your old geology text and look up gold in the mineral table and read that its density is 19.3 g/cm3. You measure the cube and find that it is 3cm on each side, and weighs 40 g. What is its density? Is it gold? Should you buy it?
