The use of one loud alarm clock and one annoying alarm clock is an example of an engineering technique called redundant design. Two alarm clocks are placed in different locations; one serves as the primary system, and the other one serves as the back-up system. With two alarm clocks operating separately, the risk of skipping-due-to-involuntary-oversleep has been greatly reduced. Additionally, the effect of unforeseeable battery depletion scenario is minimized because of the back-up system. The failure rate of this design, however, increases exponentially with the shortening of sleeping time.

hmm...
you are really good at writing something like this ^^"
I have two systems to wake me up as well. However, chances of curing skipping-due-to-voluntary-laziness seem hopeless.. =___=
i got two systems too~ my cell phone and my mom~
ya technical communication is surprisingly fun sometimes
but i cant believe i atually spent time and wrote this
glad u guys find it amusing ^^
"skipping-due-to-voluntary-laziness" - thats indeed inevitable..
its good to hav a mom who wakes up on time.. wish i hav one too
passed with 53% phew~
hahah thx thats wut i got out of that class, and it doesnt suck so much now.. since i passed it
it feels great and i can scare 1st yr engineers heheh
Cool design..
I have two identical loudness alarm clock as well...
however, i doubt that even 10 alarm clock will work..
since i have the ability of shutting it off and go back to sleep endless times~
As a fellow engineer, I think that you are misleading the public.
We are not all geeks, haha.
hahah seems like im not the only one who does this
ben.. self-deception is not gonna work
look into ur heart, u know u r a geek deep down
y else would u be in engineering??
hehehh
personally, i don think im even qualified to be one
u kinda need hav sick grades at first place =.=
btw thx for visiting ppl
