Absolutely love the cheese grater! Can’t believe it hasn’t already been thought of.
I like the clock, but not sure how it would work in reality – wouldn’t the overlap cause it to mess up?

I was thinking the same thing about the clock.

I think the only way the clock could work is that when the two hands met to form a complete circle they would then have to reset back for the next minute so the fan is closed.

Clock wont work.
Grater might do but would give inconsistent shreds of cheese.
Mirror is kinda ugly if you ask me.
