How many cave paintings were just some whiteboard equivalent of hashing out an idea

Alright guys, so we’ve got the herd, say, over here. I’ll just sketch’em real quick on the wall so we’re on the same rock here. So at first, a couple of the youngsters chase them down the ravine, which is this crack in the rock over there. Now, after they round the corner, some of our more experienced guys flank them with spears. After running uphill over there, they won’t be rested and we should have a nice meal tonight. Thoughts?

Nah, it was a prehistoric whiteboard interview.

I see you have 10 years experience hunting antelope.

We hunt gazelles here. Do you have any experience hunting gazelles?

So if this is what remained on the cave wall ... it was the plan that killed the whole tribe?

Or maybe they didn’t have whiteboard markers, only permanent ones.

[kalonis]

They had both, but some new hire confused them.

If someone writes on a whiteboard with a permanent marker, immediately black it out with a dry erase marker. Then wipe it off. The dry erase marker's solvent will release the permanent marker ink.
