Rubix cube alarm clock won't make you late

80scubeclock.jpg

Next time your alarm goes off in the morning and you switch it off, only to sleep through your important meeting that day, you might want to look into this nifty alarm clock. The 80s cube clock forces you to solve the puzzle before the alarm stops, so you need to be on your toes and ready for work extra early.

Am I missing something?

I checked it out on the site, it doesn't look like you actually have to (or are even able to) solve the cube...
of course, this just means that it still remains to be made.

By Solve they mean rotate the top, since it apears to be the only moving part.

its a brillant idea and its probably just still an idea cause i see no way for it to be solved except for a twist of the top or maybe bottom row

No way

How useless. If that thing went off next to me
and wouldn't stop, I'd smash it against the wall.
Problem "solved".
