alarm clocks are a must for everyone in today's world, that is, if you want to wake up in time. And there are all kinds of systems to help you, like:

• an Aroma Waker that generates smells at certain times


• an iPod Alarm Clock Radio that lets you wake up to your choice of music


• we can even include the Mini Ear Timer in this.

The Puzzle Alarm Clock is on a different category = one that makes you mad wake up and do something for the alarm to stop, and we're not talking about the usual "press the snooze button to stop".

As the name suggests, the required action is to make a puzzle... And as you can see in the picture, at the desired time the pieces will start flying and the alarm won't stop until you make the puzzle, or until you smash the clock in pieces, whatever comes first.

It's not a cool way to get up in the morning, but is it effective? I think so.

Available at bimbambanana (cool name?), for $52.
