It looks like a normal calculator...
It even functions like a normal calculator...
Just don't ever divide by zero...
If you do... And god forbid you do...
It will ignite a thermite charge, and self-destruct, (potentially burning down your house, car, or toast)
You have been warned

A (sort of) precedent in Commodore's PET machine where if you typed in the wrong command, you'd set up the wiring into a configuration that (supposedly) would fry the machine. [zen_tom, May 24 2010]

[+] Spreadsheet version would self-corrupt, presumably. |

Adds up, then substracts itself. Excellent. + |

Indeed - it's a good job this idea isn't about a Self Destructing "Speak and Spell" |

<side note>
Chuck Norris can divide by zero. He did it shortly after he counted to infinity... The third time.

upload that halfbaked idea about that Speak & spell Self destruct idea of yours! |
|

That's a pretty cooL idea! |

Can it be asked to calculate the exact value of Pi ? |

[+] for unnecessary and pointlessly dangerous use of pyrotechnics in a seemingly innocuous consumer product. |

The Aztec god of mathematics! A very esoteric reference. |

Besides, since Pi is nearly infinite, this will simply produce a rundown timer which (depending on the speed of the processor) may still be executing when the Universe ends, or the battery runs down. |

Probably asking a bit much of a couple of "AAA" cells ... |
|
| |
Instead of AAA cells, use a photovoltaic cell, and (for storing that power when there's not enough light) a capacitor. A big capacitor... however many farads we can cram into the calculator casing. |

will this be a graphing calculator? cause I could see getting a lot of people by telling them to graph 1/x |

charge card bills! |
