Rules:

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. They will answer to the best of their ability but imagine this is a random person from 2074.

    Think of it more as a summoning ritual. You accidently pull in a time traveller from that year.

    Also what would you do with a time machine?

      So he could time travel the way he wants to rather than being bound by an arbitrary 3 hour time limit?

        It is a 3 hour time limit for you. Meaning they agree to interact with you for a total of 3 hours and then you never see them again.

          Can they leave me with objects (books, files, documents)they brought back, or do I only have 3 hours with those as well?

      There are few theoretically possible technologies as overwhelmingly powerful as time machines. Even an extraordinarily weak time machine, for example, one that could only move you a few minutes back and forth, would be enough to make me insanely wealthy, assuming that it wasn’t cost prohibitive to run.
