Remember the 74th rule of acquisition “Knowledge is profit”.

Nog has one bar, three cubes and twelve marbles all made of the same precious metal. He also has a balance scale to weigh the items. Here are the results of two of his weighings.

1. When he has the bar and three cubes on the left and twelve marbles on the right the scale is balanced.
2. When he has the bar on the left and 1 cube and eight marbles on the right the scale is balanced.

He knows the bar is worth 9 bars of gold pressed Latinum by weight. How much is everything worth all together.
