A thief with a trillion

In the morning excellent: Misharin gave at the disposal of a trillion rubles.

That is, here's the official is fired after a series of corruption scandals, excessive even by today's standards, the year he dangles like unemployed in the hole, then he found a warm place ... and trust master trillion rubles. Three-LLI-on.
Half of the state of Bill Gates. Nearly 10% of the annual budget of Russia.

During this trillion will be built high-speed railway Moscow-Kazan length of 803 kilometers. Travel time will be 3.5 hours. A trillion rubles - 33 billion dollars. Very convenient object for comparison - the high-speed rail Beijing-Shanghai. The fact that the budget for its construction, too, is $ 33 billion - exactly! And the journey time - 3 hours 58 minutes, almost like on the Moscow-Kazan.

But there are a few BUT read more





That's just ...
The length of the Beijing-Shanghai high-speed rail - 1,318 kilometers (against 803 km from Moscow to Kazan).
It is much more complex engineering object from Beijing to Shanghai 22 and the longest tunnel in the world, the 165-kilometer (!) Danyang-Kunshan Grand Bridge.
Average train speed - a half times more. (By modern standards proposed construction branch of the Moscow-Kazan does not apply to high speed).
Make way for the Beijing-Shanghai built in 2 years - the way from Moscow to Kazan are planning to build within 5 years.
And the main thing: the way the Beijing-Shanghai has built and maintained, and the road from Moscow to Kazan only plans. In particular, this means that there are some 33 billion dollars - the final price, and we have - starting. And what happens with the estimates in Russia during the construction phase - we all know ...

In short, here's a little problem on the exam:
Misharin trillion entrusted to master - how to steal Misharin?
a) more than 25%
b) more than 50%
c) more than 75%
g) exactly 100%

... If you choose one of the answers a) -d) - you will not have solved the problem, you know bad Russian reality. Go to the cashier to pay bribes for admission.
Because the correct answer is that during the construction estimates will swell at least three times, and it is stolen from at least half of the money, that is not less than 150% (well, not less than 146%) of the original trillion rubles.
