Accepting that the Earth’s orbital period (365.25 days per year) and time of rotation per day (24 hours) was established 250,000,000 million years ago and remained constant to this day.
Your time machine’s “time-rate” is one year per second.
Remember, that there are 86,400 seconds per day.
Hmmmmm…….
250,000,000 years × 365.25 days/year = 91,312,500,000 days
91,312,500,000 days / 86,400 years/day = 1,056,857.6388888888888888888888889 years.
To paraphrase, to prove the accuracy of this map, your going to need a bigger time machine.
Another example of why one shouldn’t do math just before bed.
Let’s try this again.
250,000,000 years at 86,400 years per day means it will take 2,893.5185185185185185185185185185 days or 7.9220219535072375592567242122341 years to go back and verify the accuracy of the map.
P.S. The answers above ignore the fact that the calculator on my computer only has 32 fields for numbers.
250 million years is a long time… But I’ve read it was a hundred million years older than that.
About 350 million years old.
But hey, who’s counting?
Really… I mean, no one was around to start counting.
None of those creatures even had fingers to count on.
And if you mean humans… or even human type creatures…. that didn’t happen till maybe 6 million years ago, and Homo Sapiens only a couple hundred thousand years ago.
That’s still even before I was born!
…
Note to JP Steve….
I’m not sure about gas stations back in the Triassic cos as you see by the illustrations, the future petroleum was still walking around.
Which one will eat a steak that fell on the porch, which will eat a steak that fell in the grass… And which will probably go back in the house and make a tuna sandwich?
…
I didn’t know whether this time Cleo’s shot was on purpose….
But surely the outcome will inspire her to train for it.

The Tennessee Waltz. Beautiful. As was Patti Page.

Sad harvest.

Bocci in heels!
I’s got to be AI.
Not one of those guys is looking at her.
I noticed that too (but didn’t think about the possible AI aspect… LOL)
The name of the game she is playing is Pétanque.
The caption below comes from HERE.

Probably petanque, in which you throw overhand, not bocce, which is more like bowling, but with a low underhand toss.

I can follow your calculations, sort of…
But I have no idea what you’re calculating…. or what you mean about a time machine.

I just hate it when my petroleum walks around
Put a tiger in your tank!
Even a Smilodon is too recent to tap for fuel…

Its first release date will make it fifty-five years old this September 23.
The surprising thing to me, that I didn’t realize till years later, is that Paul Newman is 44 in this picture.
11 years older than Robert Redford.
I knew it was Paul Newman and Robert Redford solely because my sister was gaga for both of them. You hear it enough times and it sticks.
there’s supposed to. be a mountain lion hidden here
SOURCE.
The resolution in this image is nowhere near as good as in the solution posted by Alexi.
I couldn’t find the mountain lion, but in his spoiler it’s clear, as are the rocks on the right, and other details.
I can look right at it, above, knowing where it is, and I still can’t make it out.. so I never would have found it.

What could go wrong?

Cute little urchin, isn’t he?
Reminds me of this one, of a large lady in the water…..
Ohhhhhh. I like.
,.,
Very clever.
Yes…
Not a riddle at all.
From the days when actors had to be able to do it all…
Another fun one.
Point goes to Bowser!
Are we really supposed to believe that Cleo’s landing the shot squarely on the grill was by mistake?
She was aiming for Claude…
You notice that there was only two steaks on the grill.
Claude’s on a diet? 😉
“THE GOLDEN ARCHES! … THE GOLDEN ARCHES GOT ME!”
It does solve the two steak dilemma.
A man, a woman, and a dog.
Which one will eat a steak that fell on the porch, which will eat a steak that fell in the grass… And which will probably go back in the house and make a tuna sandwich?
