The Paris-based company 'MNTNT' has developed a clever wall clock that helps you sharpen your math skills. The 'Albert Clock' is a digital device that forces you to solve mathematical equations in order to tell what time it is.
Rather than simply displaying the time, the Albert Clock will digitally display a math equation. You will then have to solve the problem in order to figure out the current time. The clever wall clock is equipped with four different levels of difficulty, meaning you can make the equations more difficult if you want to further test your skills. While not everyone will be enthused about solving daily equations, the clock does mange to put an innovative twist on a classic device.
MNTNT is currently running a Kickstarter campaign to bring the project to life and help consumers improve their math skills.
