    Yep, IIRC hardwood is what you want to be using to make the lye

      Either making elaborate traps and contraptions out of sticks and stones.

      Or brain surgery.

        Yea when I said that I excel at Excel I was somewhat exaggerating, much as I have at every job interview I've ever had. It's become something of a reflex these days. But as someone else has said I think that particular issue is just down to Excel being crap.

        The more I learn about Excel, the more I know I don't know Excel.

          I wouldn’t survive long with my poor eyesight. Maybe I’d create tools or something. Love tinkering.

          This, anyone with strong glasses would be disabled in the stone age, lol. Needed some surgery before? You'd be dead.

          I went through my whole (living) family tree once and I'm pretty none of us would have survived, including me.

              I’m pretty good at thinking outside the box and innovating, so I’d probably just die.

                  Dogs seem to like me so maybe I'd be one of the first to domesticate dogs. I'd probably just live with dogs.

                        Digging holes with a shovel. I'm good at that.

                        Whittling. Drawing.

                        Meditation.

                                I had someone at work ask me if I was an expert at Excel. I've written macros in VBA and made formulas that would have been easier as a macro so I could save them as xlsx instead of xlsm. I said yes, with some hesitation. She asked me if I could help her with a problem and I said sure. The problem was a bunch of hidden cells. At least it wasn't a bunch of data she'd deleted and wanted me to get back for her.

                                The amazing part was how hard it was to show the cells in the latest version of Excel.

                                          You'd be a lot taller and probably also faster (maybe not stronger). You'd become a god-king in no time. Or be killed as a monster.
