Extra points if you can figure out how to let them communicate via wireless so they can share any new knowledge any of them acquires.

(Talk about the world being carried on the back of turtles!)

Or we could each take responsibility for memorizing some quantity of knowledge and pass it along in an oral tradition...
You have perfectly described the basis for a certain number of ancient religions, where in the turtle has been a symbol for stability, strength, knowlege and wisdom. Someone should build a reader called the Turtle.

"Extra points" Are you reading HP too?
