It wouldn't make a difference if it were possible or not. IF you were to go back, you would create a new direction for time to flow, and thus your own little universe.

If anyone came to THIS timeline, it's already happened, or going to happen.

I would go back to the ancient Chinese days of lore as a high-ranking member of society and become an intelligent, powerful magistrate or government official.

Actually screw that. I'd graduate high school, take all my essays / answer keys to past math competitions / SAT answers, travel back a decade, test and get accepted into the gifted PRISM program, and end up being hailed as a genius for my perfect scores on every single test I take.

You would use time travel to... cheat on tests at school?

At my school, if you could get a 100% on every single math competition for over a year, everyone would literally revere me as a god. Not to mention that being in PRISM would let me be a year ahead in History and English as well instead of just two in Math and one in Science like right now, so my class rank is improved. Cheating on the SAT with time travel would be awesome, and then I would be revered as a major deity for getting a 2400. Then I'd start martial arts at a young age and be wonderfully good at it, so that covers my physical attributes. Not to mention, of course, the fact that I could find and join acmlmboard at a young age.

So I see you've fully embraced those "if only I had been capable of what I am capable of now 5-10 years ago" thoughts I occasionally observed in myself but tried to ignore.

You know, the remarkable thing about becoming better at things is that it just enables you to get to know more people who are still better than you anyhow. For someone as competitively minded as you, I can only imagine that being a very grounding experience along the lines of "no matter how hard I try or how far I get, I wind up being defeated anyhow".

Indeed. I've been met with the harsh reality this year - there are quite a few mathematically adept students at my school. I've tried to not let it bother me, though. I'll just comfort myself by being an increasingly antisocial hikikomori.

It's a good thing none of the people at your school are at this board...

You'd use a time machine to... ummm... win math competitions? I mean I think I'd probably use it to become incredibly wealthy or powerful or something, or maybe go to the future, I think you're really missing the whole scope of this time travel thing.
