    Investment Challenge

    Okay, imagine a game show.

    You are "given" £100K and challenge is to turn it into a million pounds in the quickest time.

    Could you do it and how would you turn the £100K cash into £1M?

    How long would it take you?

    I'd buy a great big feck off truck, and fill it with them brown feckers at Dover - £600 each, cash...

      1) Fly to Columbia.
      2) Buy £100,000 of the best Bolivian Marching Powder
      3) Return to UK
      4) Cut with sugar.
      5) Sell.

        Nice one.

        Any more suggestions? Preferably unusual, plausible and legal(ish).

        I'm thinking.

        Buy a house
        Wait a week
        Sell.

          I tell you what mate - forget the columbia trip - just put sugar in little bags and sell it in my village - it'd doubtless be stronger than the tulipe I normally buy...

            Numbers 26 and 29. 50k on each on the roulette wheel.
            tulip or bust in 20 seconds.

              Work every weekend for the rest of my life and some considerable time beyond and still be broke and out of a job at the end of it.

              Every little helps.

                There is a booming market in selling Smarties to gullible looking sorts in clubs at £5 a pop. Sounds like a good investment to me.

                    I'd steal the £100K cash from the other 10 contestants. Bingo, £1,000,000 in no time at all.
