A Briton of the older type would write "How much fun would it be....?". Note the addition of "much". And in my estimation that exercise would not be "fun", but might be intriguing or similar. In general, rather a boring way to spend a day, giving rise to many stereotypes.

Very fun. I've done that. I'm a Brit who lives in America.
