I thought it was to disorient you a bit. If you typically snooze three times you know you have to be out of the bed at 8:00 sharp (with 7:30 original). Easy for your brain to latch on to that. Now with 9 mins…

I can do multiplication in half-conscious state easily if it means a few more minutes of precious, precious sleep...

Besides you really just need to remember how to do subtraction, not even the multiplication table

  var snooze = 3
  snoozety (30) minutes minus snooze (3) minutes = twenty seven

Now, if the alarm clock required you to solve a calculus problem, that'd be a bit more challenging :)
