The phrase "any given day" suggests that the two hypothetical trees will align with the sun on any day of the year arbitrarily chosen. A better way to say it would be "...Cueball realizes that the setting sun would line up with almost any two trees on at least one day of the year."

The line about "getting rich" got me thinking.... Only 5E-10 of the sun is gold [http://answers.google.com/answers/threadview?id=224308] but the sun's mass is approx 2E30kg [http://www.google.com/webhp?q=mass%20of%20sun], so that's 1E21 kg of gold (about US $35 septillion at today's prices), and that's just one element, there are all sorts of precious metals in the sun's core...
