Sonic Bomb Alarm Clock with Bed Shaker
Times like this, I really miss good old WC.....
It's a pity that some here don't know what you mean.
The new super-alarm clocks are rather cool, though.. Maybe even worth a thread
There are at least clocks that fly away or roll into hiding. I've also heard of one that throws the piece that makes the alarm stop into air. Pretty innovative stuff.

Yeah, they're nice. The only problem is, though, once you find the piece and attach it to your alarm, you can just go back to bed and fall right back to sleep.
I tried setting my alarm and placing it far away from my bed so I had to get up to turn it off, but you know, once it was off, I could just jump back into bed and keep on sleeping.

That's what the snooze button's for
"I've also heard of one that throws the piece that makes the alarm stop into air."
I've seen one like that that has a little jigsaw on top - when it goes off you have to find all the pieces and put them back before it'll stop, by which time (theoretically) you're too wide awake to want to sleep more

Hehe, well, I assume that eventually, you will know that jigsaw by heart, and...
What if you miss a piece?
Hah! I would totally steal a piece from an unsuspecting friends alarm clock, so they couldn't switch it off. EVER.
Then you either...
a) go insane
b) unplug it and go back to bed
or c) chuck it out the window

Maybe make it display a random simplistic integral, with difficulty settings based on your ability?
You can say that.
For a real kicker, you can always try to make them impossible.
Talking about impossible math, anyone got any ideas how to solve:
Sum: 0 --> n; A* (y^n*x^0 + y^(n-1)*x^1 ... y^1*x^(n-1) + y^0*x^n)
Solve, as in put in a form that *isn't* a friggen series. It's for a compound interest problem with deposits varied by a constant inflation (aka, increasing wages). So with inflation at 2% per unit time n, and savings interest at 1% with an initial deposit of 10$, you'd have after 3 unit times:
10 * (1.01^3 + 1.01^2*1.02^1 + 1.01^1*1.02^2 + 1.02^3) = 41.82$
I'm thinking it's impossible, unless x or y are in deflation. The whole reason I'm trying to do this, is to see if there's an optimal point in time to make an appropriate 'jump' to a different, higher savings rate, if there is a constant cost involved in the jump, and a finite number of months where the money will still be 'saved'.
