math is hard
A first-edition copy of history's most influential takedown of creationism has sold for $564,500 at auction, the highest amount yet for the tome.
...
The winning bid more than doubled the presale estimate of $120,000-$180,000 and Mellon's collection as a whole raked in $1.9m during the auction on 5 November.
Last time I checked, $564,500 more than tripled a number in the range $120,000-$180,000. So, yes it more than doubled it, but more than tripled it would be more accurate.
