This is meant to be a fun question but, I'd put some info about the idiom you used here for the ones that don't get it:
Also, back to square one. Back to the beginning because the current attempt was unsuccessful, as in When the town refused to fund our music program, we had to go back to the drawing board, or I've assembled this wrong side up, so it's back to square one. The first term originated during World War II, most likely from the caption of a cartoon by Peter Arno in The New Yorker magazine. It pictured a man who held a set of blueprints and was watching an airplane explode. The variant is thought to come from a board game or street game where an unlucky throw of dice or a marker sends the player back to the beginning of the course. It was popularized by British sports-casters in the 1930s, when the printed radio program included a grid with numbered squares to help listeners follow the description of a soccer game.

It's a little known fact that the inventor of the drawing board was actually trying to invent 'sliced bread' when he stumbled upon the drawing board. After that he promptly went back to trying to invent sliced bread, but after numerous unsuccessfull attempts he was forced to rely on the income from his drawing board buisness; hence going back to the drawing board. He finally invented sliced bread before tragically dying in a horrific accident. This has remained mankinds greatest invention ever since, and anyone now unable to successfully accomplish their goal is now said to " go back to the drawing board". ;-p

they had nothing to go back to, which is why it took so long for anything to be invented before writing. the original drawing board was a line in the sand, which when crossed incited tribal warfare.
early man fought to near extinction, until they agreed to call a truce and meet 'back at the drawing board'. unfortunately high tide had made short work of the line in the sand, so a new drawing board had to be agreed upon... thus writing came about.
the idea of a line in the sand persists to this day.

Back to the old 'stick in the sand', that's where they used to go back to.
