How to make a CPU from scratch (any% speedrun glitchless):

1) Get a rock.
2) Smash the rock.
3) Now you have 98% concentrated silicon dioxide. Purify it to 99.9% pure silicon dioxide.
4) Purify it further to 99.9999999% polysilicon metal.
5) Put the polysilicon ingots into a crucible.
6) Heat the silicon ingots to 1698 °K.
7) Take a small seed monocrystal and dip it into the vat of molten silicon.
8) Slowly pull the crystal out as it cools.
9) Now, you've a monocrystal of pure silicon. Cut it into thin slices.
10) Now, you've got pristine freshly-cut silicon wafers. Optionally, dope them with Boron, Phosphorus or another dopant.
11) Put photoresist on the wafer.
12) Take a chromium-etched photo-lithographic quartz mask with your desired circuit pattern and shine a laser beam through it to project the circuit pattern onto the wafer.
13) The locations of the shadows produced by the photo-mask will control where the photo-resist is chemically changed on the surface of the

The World Stone Skimming Championships is held on the tiny west coast island of Easdale. An island blessed with millions of perfect skimming stones after its slate mining industrial past was brought to an abrupt end by a huge storm. Water filled the immense quarries and created the world’s first stone skimming arena. The competition has always been, and is to this day, a community fundraising event, but tensions are now mounting between the small island community and the skimmers whose abilities have far outgrown the limitations of the 63m quarry.
