If you were sent back to year 0, how technically useful would you be?

[Vegeta897]

I think it means, if you could live forever, and started bringing civilization up at year 0, how far could you get the technology before going 'Wait.. what? WHAT IS THAT THING?'

Uh Not exactly. This is a test of our understanding of how so many things used today work. The difference between telling someone to "invent the lightbulb" and how to invent it.

 

[Higlac]

cool... 9/10 it wasn't exactly that hard, come off it.

Most of these Q's you needed to be a welder to know some metallurgy. Still got 6 answers correct out of 10. *Oh yeah I didn't use google LOL!

Did you include battery in your answer, because if you did you would be wrong

only a magnet, wire and motion is needed. That be Lenz's law for you.

You would need to invent the battery too. Also you would need to invent the "bessemer process" to create proper steel.

5 rights, by the way, but I had a disadvantage because my English isn't exactly flawless.

What he said, yeah, same goes for me..

9/10 17th - 19th Century. (9/10).

At least I have Ironclad.

 

[No Limit]

10th century (4 questions right). If they need some programming or designing done in the year 0 I'm all over it.

 

[DEATHMASTER]

17-19th, i guessed only on two, got 3 wrong though D:

 

[sinkoman]

Quoted for awesomeness.

Nothing is awesome? :O

Btw, 7/10, not guessing :E

At year 0, I'd discover silicon and be all like "Ok, someone invent the internets plz kthxbi"

 

[Dan]

17th to 19th baby.

 

[kirovman]

Funny thing is, there was no "Year 0".

It went from 1 B.C to 1 A.D.

Although that's trivial.

I would tell the Romans how to invent stirrups. I could also draw a map of the earth. I might try to invent gunpowder: I think it's saltpeter, charcoal, and bat shit in some sort of mixture. I would definitely explain calculus and statistics but nobody would care I bet. I could recite pi to 20 decimal places. Disease vectors, modern sanitation, bacteria I could explain.

 

[AJ Rimmer]

Yaaay, 6 right answers. 15th century eh? Aight.
Errrrmm... I could... teach people english. And I could tell the romans how to write a *really* good episode of the simpsons.

 

[kirovman]

No?

Although I don't doubt you.
I'm sure it's a reference to the Matrix and Gabe.

 

[leib10]

15th century :/

Same.

I could show them how to build automatic weapons, though!

 

[Hazar]

Funny thing is, there was no "Year 0".

It went from 1 B.C to 1 A.D.

Although that's trivial.

D:

such a technicality

 

[Hellrider]

4th century **** yeah!!

 

[bbson john]

7/10

17-19th century

I answered the three questions wrong because I DON'T KNOW THOSE ENGLISH WORDs. I'd better travel back to ancient Chinese.

 

[Danimal]

15th century. I guess it's the best I could do.
