If I extend the finite familiar environment to shops nearby my house, I thought of an interesting idea:
Generate a list of the nearest third party coin counting machines near my house. Like one of those Coin Star machines you see at a Grocery store. Roll a random die and select that element off the list. Deposit the coin along with other coins. If I have time, do this at multiple coinstar machines.
The store manager probably doesn’t have the keys. Even if I think of this exact idea, I still have to either break the law and smash the machine (And then it’s still a needle in a haystack problem, except the cops are hunting for me.) or socially engineer 1 or more Coin Star employees (Who isn’t even in the grocery store, I have no talent at this, And then it’s still a needle in a haystack problem.) and that’s assuming I picked the RIGHT grocer store.
Even if I think “I would have put it into a randomly chosen third party coin counting change machine.” I won’t have any way of confirming the theory easily. or even being sure WHICH third party coin counting machine. If I spend hours and hours trying to check one, it could turn out it wasn’t even at that grocery store. So it takes me less than an hour to generate this heuristic, but DAYS to solve, if it’s even possible for me to do it at all.
I can still apply this reasoning to my house if my backyard is allowed.
Roll dice determine where I actually dig a deep hole. Put the coin in that hole. Disturb my entire yard so that I can’t tell the difference. I can dig a single hole and disturb my yard in a much shorter time then I can actually dig out my hole yard.
If I can’t leave the house, randomly select a toilet, or sink drain or tub drain and flush it down with water. Disturb all plumbing covers. The coin is probably SOMEWHERE in my houses plumbing. (Plumbing pipes often have catches for that sort of thing.) I have no idea where. It takes a long and effort to disassemble all of the plumbing in my house.
If I have even more time, do MULTIPLE ideas. If my entire backyard has been disturbed and all of my plumbing covers removed, I don’t know whether I flushed it or buried it.
If the coin doesn’t have to be intact when hidden, but I do have to return all pieces, split the coin into multiple pieces and do multiple ideas.
