I could never understand why Louis didn't take his trumpet up there to play.

What's MC?

[THECORBYLOON]

That confused me but I think it must be "multiple choice" as opposed to the cashbuilder round.

[naomi24]

Thanks.  All I could think of was Masterchef which made no sense at all!

[ToraToraTora]

MC=Multiple Choice

I knew the answer but never thought it was the greatest human achievement 

[ToraToraTora]

14:14 really, what was then?

[bhg481]

How about discovering zero. Without it there is no maths and hence not much in the way of science.

[ToraToraTora]

nah that didn't really change anything. Maths was being discovered long before they put a ring round the empty space. Ancient egyptians, Mayans, aztecs, greeks where doing maths 5 thousand years ago. Even the builders of stonehenge were doing it.

[THECORBYLOON]

"How about discovering zero. Without it there is no maths"

I think the ancient Greeks would dispute that claim.

[maggiebee]

What is a "spave shuttle"?

[sandyRoe]

Writing is the greatest achievement of humanity.

And reading, of course.
