This is interesting. Where did you see that?

Carbon dating is only supposed to be accurate to about 40,000 years ago. They must be using some other method to date it, but I didn't see in the article where they say what method was used.

I usually go to the Euler project and copy one of their questions. Then I modify the input to try and avoid them copy-pasting the question to find the answer.

For my car, you can turn on the ignition and buckle/unbuckle the drivers belt 3 times in a row. Doing that turns off the constant alarm and only chimes when you first start and shows the light on the panel. Maybe your car has something similar.

It can help with rate limiting and preventing abuse.
