Rules:

The time traveller is able to travel backward and forward through time (max forward is 2074) and they can only transport things that can fit in a small backpack.
You can choose when the 3 hours begin but it has to be in 2024 and once it has begun the timer can't be reset or stopped.
They will answer to the best of their ability but imagine this is a random person from 2074.

Why kill them? Just ask if you can use the time machine, they'll probably say yes. Otherwise you can steal it, but no need to commit murder.

Time travel without killing? The Master does not approve... Just look at his face!

Well, if they are over 50, then how could you have killed them if they are still alive?

That's going to be a headache for the courts, to say the least. The real victims of time travel are the bureaucrats.
