An Idea Whose Time Has Come… Or Has It Gone?

One of the problems I have always had about moving up my alarm clock by a few minutes to make sure that I am on time is that I always knew that the time was rigged, and then I would make adjustments. And then I would race to my appointment hoping to be on time.

Finally there is a new clock (although with no alarm yet) that sets a random time forward (between 5 and 15 minutes more or less). Since there is no way to know exactly how far off the clock is, those old adjustment strategies will no longer work.
