Hi PD,
This is much harder than you think it might be. Imagine that you are an archaeologist in 10000 AD. You speak fluent Vulcan, but you know something about the dead language English, which died many thousands of years previously. For recreation you play the sport of jeklobyl, which involves throwing a pie-shaped disk down a field to teammates, who are only allowed to take 2 steps before throwing. In the course of your archeology work you run across a short document on the long-lost technology called the internet that you translate from English as follows:
“On Friday night the green wave rolled down the field, overwhelming the boys from Goose Creek with a quick downward touch.”
You might ask questions like this: When a green wave touches the ground quickly, how many seconds does that take? How many boys from Goose Creek perished in the green tsunami?
What kind of event does this short document refer to?
Thanks,
Chris
