The ultimate self-sabotage trap! This poor soul thinks they've discovered the perfect alarm-disabling strategy: setting an unsolvable math problem as the turn-off mechanism. Little do they realize they've just sentenced themselves to mathematical public humiliation.
What makes this particularly brilliant is the reference to NP-complete problems in computational mathematics—problems so fiendishly difficult that even supercomputers would need essentially infinite time to solve them. The character's smug "hehehe" quickly transforms into that deer-in-headlights expression when they're forced to tackle their own mathematical Frankenstein's monster in front of an audience.
The irony is *chef's kiss* perfection—creating a problem specifically because you think you can't solve it, then being forced to attempt it anyway. It's basically the mathematical equivalent of digging your own grave!
