Could one man and one woman repopulate the earth?

This came up in r/askanything and I really don’t know the answer. What would be the results?

Last night

Way cool sitting outside.
But iPhone photos leave something to be desired.

You are able to teleport into the future and interview the last living human

You can temporarily teleport to the last living person on earth, understand their language, and return at will. There will be no risk to you.
What did you learn, and what do you do with this knowledge?

Goodwill find

My dear wife spotted this MXT for me at $99.
Looks brand new.
I already have an MXT with 10” DD and 5.3 concentric coils. So didn’t really need another one. But I couldn’t pass it up.

Confession: I have yet to find gold, but will start with my old MXT with 5.3 coil just to be better able to get between rocks.

I wondered if was wasting my time with this old machine, so I did some tests:

.1g nugget 1-2” detection depth with 5.3 coil
.1g nugget 1-2” detection depth with 10” DD
.1g nugget 1-2” detection with 9.5” conc coil.

.27g Au flake 4-6” detection depth with 5.3 coil
.27g Au flake 4-6” detection with 10”” DD coil

3.3g 14k gold ring. 9-12” 5.3 coil
3.3g 14k gold ring 18” 10” DD coil

These are for high confidence signals.

.1g is good enough for me.
I don’t have a .05g nugget, but I guess I could detect it at maybe 1”.
