I had this very question a few weeks ago, for completely different reasons*. I didn't figure out the answer, but I'm interested to see what people come up with!
* My work had a job ad that asked you to answer certain questions and send them in with your application. One of the questions was, "You are given the opportunity to travel back in time to any period, but there is a chance that you won't be able to return to the present. What time do you travel to?" I chose "last week, with the winning lottery numbers" on the grounds that the worst case scenario was that there were two of me and we had to share my immense wealth (but I could get twice as much done!)
