Electronic timer

An electronic timer comprising a case in the shape of a polyhedron comprising;

• a total of P faces;
• wherein P is 10 or more;
• a subset N of the P faces on the polyhedron, wherein N is 9 or more;
• and
• wherein each of the N faces comprises a unique associated face indicia, identified as I(n);
• wherein each unique face indicia I(n) is associated with a unique time interval, T(n);
• an electronic processor with non-transitory memory;
• an electronic accelerometer;
• a first speaker;
• and a stored digital audio dataset;
• wherein a detection combination, comprising the processor, the memory, and the accelerometer, is adapted to detect a set of motion states of the timer, comprising at least two unique motion states, each motion state comprising a predetermined quantity of mechanical timer motion;
• wherein such detection is free of an electromechanical switch;
• wherein the detection combination is further adapted to detect at least N timer orientations, each orientation F(n) is associated with the face n, wherein such detection is free of an electromechanical switch;
• wherein the timer is adapted to select and start each of the T(n) time intervals responsive to both a current motion state and a current timer orientation;
• wherein the timer is adapted to play a first sound from the stored digital audio dataset at a start of each the T(n) time interval;
• and to play a second sound from the stored digital audio dataset at an end of each T(n) time interval;
• wherein the set of motion states comprises three mechanical motion states:
• (a) a continuous movement state;
• (b) a still movement state;
• and (c) a shock movement state;
• and
• wherein the timer is further adapted such that the select and start each of the T(n) time intervals requires a first change from the continuous movement state to the shock movement state and then a second change to the still movement state.
