A standard 5-gallon bucket has a volume of approximately 0.67 cubic feet or about 18.9 liters. Gold has a density of around 19.3 grams per cubic centimeter, which means that a 5-gallon bucket could hold approximately 1,500 pounds of gold. However, this is a theoretical maximum and does not account for practical considerations like the bucket's material strength or weight limitations.

To calculate the volume of one paving stone, you would multiply the length, width, and depth in cubic centimeters. Then, if 1 cm³ of gold is g, you would convert the volume of the paving stone into grams of gold. Finally, you would divide the total weight of gold (100 million pounds) by the weight of one paving stone to determine how many solid gold paving stones you could buy.
