bej4yem wrote Monetary Value? hmmmmmm how many times am i allowed to post an answer, i have quite a few theories on what the answer can be

As many as you'd like is fine.

Ok, first theory.. So far, The only way i can think of Sean tying into this is, this is a post on his site, RIP JFK is referring to a dead president. "Dead Presidents" is another term for money, so the declaration of independence has 2 presidential signatures on it, John Adams and Thomas Jefferson, but they're not the only people who signed that are on money, so was BenFfranklin, so id say 20$ + 2$ + 100$ = 122$ .. 122$ is my first answer (unless JFK may count also then 122.50$ lol)

Use the clues to find the number. Good luck!

Clues:
-Sean
-R.I.P JFK
-Declaration of Independence
-A BackRub leads to Donahoe


What number monetary value do these hints equal lead to? Must show proof of answer (no guessing)..

*Note: Any edits will be marked in red! Added hints will be marked in green.

You are all overthinking it. I took a much simpler route to find my answer.

Sean has a reputation power of 1773.
He joined on May 14th, 2008.
He is a 6 year member.
He has 2 months of Gold and 1 gift of Gold.

Using basic Algebra skills:
1773 / [(14 x 6)(2 x 1)]

That leads us to:
1773 / 168

Which equals:
10.5535714

John F Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963.
Assassinated has 11 letters.
November has 8 letters.
JFK is 3 letters.
He was shot by a Lee Harvey Oswald.
Lee Harvey Oswald contains 15 letters.

We can solve this using this:
1963 / (11 x 8 x 3 x 15)

Which will give us:
0.495707071

Now, for obvious reasons, multiply that by 100 to get 49.5707071

Our solution is 49.5707071

The Declaration of Independence was signed on July 4, 1776.
There are 1478 words in the DoI.
56 men signed the Declaration of Independence.
One of which is John Hancock.
John Hancock has 11 letters.

We can break this down into this:
1776 / (1478 x 26 / 11)

From that we get:
0.508379307

Multiply that by 100 for obvious reasons:
50.8379307

We are left with:
50.8379307

Using those three key points of data we are almost done with this conundrum. Looking at very basic Geometry skills, we know that a prism consists of three dimensions. These dimensions are very different that that on a Cartesian plane, which uses only 2 dimensins. These dimensions are: Length, Width, and Depth. Using those three values, we can figure out a few bits of information about this prism.

Length: 10.5535714
Width: 49.5707071
Depth: 50.8379307

To find the volume of this prism we will use this formula:
V = BA + PH
or
V = Base Area + (Perimeter x Area)

The Base Area is: 523.147997
The Perimeter is: 2092.59199

Now we plug this data in:

V = BA + PH
V = 523.147997 + (2092.59199 x 50.8379307)
V = 106906.195 units^3

---

Finally we will take all this information and put it to work:

The volume of the prism is:
106906.195 units^3

A Backrub leads to Donahoe contains 26 characters.
The Alphabet contains 26 letters.
Let's exclude the vowels: A,E,I,O,U
So there are 21 letters.

We will use:
106906.195 / 21

Which will give us:
5090.77119

---

My answer is 5090.77119

You saw how I did my work. However, it may be off a bit, as during my alphabet decryption of your code, I did not exclude the vowel "Y." That was done intentionally as "Y" can be seen as its value can be either 0 or 1, due to the nature of it being a vowel in some special cases.
