At 5 minutes per execution, it could be done in just over 2 days. If you wanted to ensure that nobody missed any of the event and limited it to 8 hours per day, you could get it done in 1 week.
You could do it even faster, just assemble 6 guillotines. Then you could execute 72 per hour instead of 12. You’d then be done in 8 hours and 20 minutes.
if we did one per minute, we are looking at about 10 hours of solid thwacks. give or take. im sure we could shave that down by a few seconds per, they are a physically weak people on average. so i imagine we could get it done in half the time if we shave it to 30 seconds per billionaire. and have them all lined up. ready to go.
thats an afternoon. about 5 hours at 30 seconds a pop.
I appreciate the Silcon Valley-esque efficiency calculation but honestly that’s not a super high requirement. 5 hours, 10 hours, a week, whatever. No need to speed run this thing. Honestly if we were good in a year I’d be thrilled.
Guillotine blades get dull. And they’re kind of heavy.
So to keep things moving I motion that we set up half a dozen of them. Each one would handle 100 people, which would still absolutely wreck the blade. But that’s a price I’m willing to pay.
Imagine if they dropped all their loot upon death, i would love to see the lootsplosion of money, gems, deeds to property, stock folios and legendary/epic rarity artworks & artifacts.
Unfortunately very small EXP rewards as they never levelled up through the grind.
It still weird me out that there are only something like 600 billionaires in the US. This seems like such a solvable problem.
We could easily solve that with just a single guillotine.

Special holiday!
Dude, you are living in the past. Band saw and conveyor belt.
I’m no dude, but yes, that sounds absolutely revolutionary. Industrial oligarch eliminationmaxxing!
Apologies!
No probs!
Hold on. Who’d build and own the band saw and conveyor belt?
You got any plans this weekend?
No he’s planning the whole event. We need live music, Jigsaw (from Saw), and a revolving sushi bar.
Gotta have the sushi bar. Non-negotiable.

We could really drag this out. Make a reality TV series. Merchandising rights. Lots of opportunities to make some money here…
We’ll make it a speed run event sort of thing. GDQ: Guillotines Done Quick.

I’ll donate a blade to lower any cost concerns.
Some rope too.
Anyone else?
Anyone have some trees they’re willing to have milled for the frame?
Sure, I have some wood ready here.
That’s not really fair to the billionaires at the beginning of the line, who are probably going to be the most deserving.
Dulled guillotine blades for everyone!
Or, hear me out:
Woodchipper.
Can’t we just re-tool the orphan crushing machine? I mean, it’s right there.
