It would work just as well to buy a watch with an alarm, turn it away so it doesn't face you, set the alarm without seeing it, and put the watch in your pocket. When it goes off, you quit. Easy, no muss, no fuss.
Honestly, guys, I haven't taken a math course in decades, but I have a couple of intro stat and game theory courses on DVD that I can recommend. Invest fifty bucks and learn a little math. This self-help win-goal magic is fine if you enjoy shows like Ghosthunters. You're spending a lot of mind-time and energy on things that don't really exist.
And I just wasted ten minutes myself.
