I can't imagine how much I would hate mornings if I was woken up everyday by the iQ Alarm Clock. The iQ Alarm Clock is a conceptual alarm clock from Oliver Sha that challenges you to answer a brain teaser before it stops beeping.
The iQ Alarm Clock can be programmed to ask between one and three questions and comes with a hard-to-find off button. If you believe that anytime is a good time for education, then you definitely need to check this clock out. I still think learning shouldn't start until after 9 a.m. at the earliest.
