Mathtastic Alarms

The Twist Alarm Clock Forces You to Solve an Equation to Turn it Off

The Japanese market has released this Twist Alarm Clock for all those sleepyheads who need a little extra incentive to wake up in the morning.

When the Twist Alarm Clock sounds, it can only be turned off after the sleeper physically solves a simple math problem with the clock. The main idea is to get your brain going in the morning, forcing you to wake up faster than you would if you were to just slap a snooze button.

The Twist Alarm Clock is by D-Forme. Get it for about $30.
