    Default Quick, Marty, we've got to get back!

    Have you ever wondered, "Hey, if I ever time traveled to 1876, would I be able to get into MIT?" If you have, then today's your lucky day!

    I could probably do that math completely right, and I'm not even good at math. That stuff is what we've been learning 9th grade, more or less.

    If it weren't for the race issue, I could be a brilliant philosopher in the 2000 bc's.

    That and language barrier.
