Abstract
A mathematical watch displays time using mathematical problems. The answers to the mathematical problems indicate the current time. The mathematical problems are periodically updated on a screen of the mathematical watch. The mathematical watch also displays an angle shape that indicates the current temperature.
Claims20
A mathematical watch for providing time using mathematical problems, the mathematical watch comprising:
- i) a housing;
- ii) a processor disposed in the housing;
- iii) a screen disposed in the housing and coupled to the processor;
- iv) software adapted to operate on the processor, the software adapted to retrieve a time wherein the time includes an hour and a minute;
- v) the software further adapted to periodically select a first mathematical problem from a first set of mathematical problems in a database, wherein an answer to the first mathematical problem has a same value as the hour;
- vi) the software further adapted to display the first mathematical problem on the screen;
- vii) the software further adapted to periodically select a second mathematical problem from a second set of mathematical problems in the database, wherein an answer to the second mathematical problem has a same value as the minute;
- and
- viii) the software further adapted to display the second mathematical problem on the screen.
