I don't think it really matters at that point. I would not treat the situation differently if the mugger said "3^^^3" or if he explicitly stated some number "34084549...843".

I would pay $5 to not have to listen to the mugger explicitly state a number that long.

I once offered a similar deal to a tuba player on a subway platform.
