So here's what we've got: we write a bike city survival manual in Attic Greek, ship it back to Plato in a time-machine, he reads the manual, teaches it to one his slaves, then sends her back in the time machine. If she can get from Porte Maillot to the Arc de Triomphe on a Paris city council bike without mishap, we conclude that technical knowledge is universal and cross-culturally tanslatable.

P.S. We can give her a sack of chouquettes for the journey.
