Dion is now playing high school football, 9th grade. And Tucker, Brains, and Kai are all in high school too. A slip of the time machine lever causes them to wind up in 1972, and they see how their high school has changed. Turns out Dion won medals in the 1968 Olympics (Mexico City)!
Boys' Life: "The Time Machine to the Rescue"
| S - | Ep - | 1964/10/ |
| Short Story | - min | |
They rescue Kai's parents from their crashed spaceship on "the 4th moon of Jupiter." (Callisto?) With stopover at the Coliseum in 250 A.D. Rome to get a gladiator's net to subdue a prison ship guard. They use a technique of going back in time every 10 minutes, to create a "fleet" of 8 time machines around the crashed prison ship, to psyche out the guards. In the end, they rescue the guards and the prisoners, and reunite Kai with his parents. He goes back (to the future) to live with them, though planning to visit his pals in 1964 often. Though they make it clear that they can't exit the time machine on the Jupiter's moon surface without spacesuits, they somehow can get the guard and Kai's parents in and out without an airlock. This is the story I distinctly remember when I was a kid, after reading some of the 1970s stories in BOYS' LIFE, I found the book THE TIME MACHINE TO THE RESCUE at my public library.
Boys' Life: "The Time Machine Twins the Jamboree"
| S - | Ep - | 1973/08/ |

Unique in the series. No real time travel to past or future, except for a time when Tucker sacks out on a 40th century beach. Bob Tucker wants to attend the August 1973 Jamboree West in Idaho, and the simultaneous Jamboree East in Pennsylvania, so Brains, Rodney Carver, and Kai help him out, using the time machine to attend both at the same time. There's a new member of the Polaris patrol, Rex Dill, who's not in on the secret of the time machine, and they keep it from him, with some difficulty. First story solely by "Keith Monroe." Dion is mentioned as training for the Olympics back in 448 BC. So he seems to be living back there, though in a previous story he graduates from high school in their present-future, and competes in a modern-day Olympics.
Boys' Life: "Why We Kidnapped Our Scoutmaster"
| S - | Ep - | 1989/02/ |
| Short Story | - min | |
On a hiking trip, Scoutmaster Dunn gets a head injury. Tucker, Rodney Carver, and, Dion hike out, until they meet a Ferrari, and use the guy's car-phone (!) to call the ranger station, and also "Brains" Bain at home (he didn't go on the trip, and in this story, Kai is mentioned as living in the future but they visit him often) to come with the time machine (They later theorize the Ferrari-driver is a drug dealer!). Baines arrives with the time machine, but it can't fit in the canyon where Dunn is. So they go to 1851 and get mountain man Jebediah Curtis to lead them to the canyon, with anti-gravity belts and night goggles. They get Dunn out, get Kai to get a healing suit from the future from his parents, take Jebediah back to his own time, put the healed Dunn back at the campsite, he doesn't remember the time machine or thinks it was a dream, problem solved! I point out for the record that, even though they have a time machine, a healing suit, anti-gravity belts, and night goggles, all technology from Kai's time, and the help of an 1851 mountain man, the technology that actually saves Mr. Dunn's life is a 1989 drug dealer's car phone!

Braess's Paradox
Adding extra capacity to a network can reduce overall performance.
| S - | Ep - | |
| - min | ||
German mathematician Dietrich Braess, states that adding extra capacity to a network when the moving entities selfishly choose their route, can in some cases reduce overall performance. This is because the Nash equilibrium of such a system is not necessarily optimal. The paradox is stated as follows: "For each point of a road network, let there be given the number of cars starting from it, and the destination of the cars. Under these conditions one wishes to estimate the distribution of traffic flow. Whether one street is preferable to another depends not only on the quality of the road, but also on the density of the flow. If every driver takes the path that looks most favorable to him, the resultant running times need not be minimal. Furthermore, it is indicated by an example that an extension of the road network may cause a redistribution of the traffic that results in longer individual running times."

In a quandary, Brak wonders what must be done and so Zorak sets forth the idea that they can go back in time and convince their past selves to do the homework so as not to be faced with the stuff later. This doesn't work, as the past selves only go back in time and play video games with Zorak and Brak, on and on down the line, as the duo decides to keep going back in time to make their past selves do the homework, more and more past selves keep coming back. Faced with this mistake, Zorak and Brak decide to go back in time to stop homework from ever being invented. They make it, and meet up with two wizards from that era who invent homework. Zorak convinces them not to invent it, and the duo goes back to their own time era only to realize that some of the things that they do and act out are gone.
