A Funny (But Practical) Use For Math

I fear some high school students would never be able to shut off the alarm:
Do you have trouble oversleeping in the morning? Are you tired of losing the battle with your traditional alarm clock? Do you want the perfect way to make sure that you get up on time whenever you want, and wherever you are? Then you need Mathe Alarm Clock!

...Unlike conventional alarm clocks and alarm apps, Mathe Alarm Clock forces you to solve multiple-choice math puzzles before shutting off its alarm. You'll never worry again about unconsciously pressing your alarm clock's "snooze" button and oversleeping!
Get it (only for Apple products) here.

A similar version exists on the Google play store - a friend of mine uses it: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vp.alarmClockPlusDock&hl=en_US

From the description: "-MATH ALARM will require a math problem to be solved to dismiss or snooze alarm clock. There are multiple math difficulty levels, and the number of math problems required to be solved can be configured for both snooze and dismiss independently."

I have an Apple product, so I've never used this, but she has for quite some time.

My kids all have used an app like this for years on their androids. I thought it great because they no longer needed a kick in the ... to get them going in the morning.
