If a person from 1700 asked you your job, would they understand your answer, and if not, how would you explain it to them? (lemm.ee)

We got this sand and tought it to do math. I give the math sand very specific instructions to do a task. There are many people like me, and a good chunk of them are giving the sand instructions to show silly cat pictures.

    I wonder if it would be better to go with sand, or a new metal, given that the average person in 1700 would know the process of smelting ore better than most of the people here. Either way they're not going to see the point without some explanation, because they'd think it's easy enough just to draw a cat yourself.
