The Scent Rhythm Watch Tells Time By Releasing Fragrances 79

Zothecula writes "Glancing at a clock face in one form or another has been the de facto way to measure the passage of time. Aisen Caro Chacin though, is exploring a different perspective. She wants to give everyone the ability to tell time using their noses. Her chemical-based watch called the Scent Rhythm emits specially-designed fragrances in minute doses, in tune with circadian cycle of the human body. You get a fragrance of coffee in the morning, the smell of money in the afternoon, a relaxing whiskey scent in the evening, and a soothing chamomile fragrance at night. More than being merely pleasant, each chemically-supplemented scent aims to induce action appropriate to the time of day; the caffeine in the coffee scent for example, aims to trigger the person into being more active."

    I don't want to smell other people's scent watches all the time. What if everyone had one? I wonder if you could play a joke and replace the coffee scent with fart scent.

    I already have scents that tell me the time:

    - Morning farts tell me it's time to get up
    - The company's secretary's overpowering patchouli perfume tells me it's past 10 am (and that she's late to work again)
    - Greasy odors from the fish and chips next door tell me it's almost noon
    - Beer burps from my bro tell me it's past 4pm
    - Burnt smells from my wife's cooking tell me it's almost 8 pm (and that I'm not all that hungry)
    - The faint smell of vaseline tells me it's time for bed (and that missus is horny)

There are two ways to write error-free programs; only the third one works.
