How Useful Are You?

If you were to travel 2000 years into the past, how useful would you be in jumpstarting technological advancements?

7/10-Got lucky on a few guesses- I would be worthless as an inventor-as Kottke points out, inventions are not made from multiply choices.

6/10 i could bring them to the 15th century... I was really just blind guessing... I'm sure I could help in other ways... like math... and such...

Score:
8/10 I also got lucky. I'd be able to advance civilization to the 17th or even the 19th century.

So, it turns out that I am technologically useful -- if you want a good laugh, mention that to my wife.
