Steam Cannon, Breakfast Cereal

Synopsis:
Jamie and Adam once again delve into classical history to tackle a myth surrounding Archimedes. This time, the team tests the myth that Archimedes built the world's first "supergun," a cannon powered by steam. Can they prove this incredible feat of historical steam-powered engineering? Or is the myth just a load of hot air? And, we've all seen the advertising for breakfast cereal — grains packed with vitamins and high-fiber energy. But Adam's mom doesn't believe a word of it! She thinks a typical modern breakfast cereal has less nutritional value than the box it comes in. Could Mom be right? The MythBusters test her theory.
