9 out of 10! smile

Quite Good. Starting from the year zero, you might be able to advance civilization to the 17th or even the 19th century. You are technically useful.

Great quiz.
7/10 as well, though I'll own up to guessing a couple.

I could change history for ever though, by teaching them how to hang people with rope rather than crucifixion, meaning modern Christians would have a noose around their necks rather than a cross. Which would be a good start.

8 too. I only knew 7 of them though, one of the ones I got right was a total guess.

9 out of 10. Get in.

Evidently I'd be useful although, contrary to the intention of the quiz, not through any technological useful but by being a very very lucky guesser.

8/10 so 17th or even 19th century, some of the questions seemed very American though.

I got 7/10
I got 8.

I can also weld, fabricate, forge metal, heat treat metal, build engines, and other basic things to build weaponry to slaughter all opponents. biggrin

Or alteratively, as you discover there is no Jesus you slowly fulfil his role, in effect becoming Jesus...
