I mean my alarm clock used to be so reliable before I moved to Bloomington. Now it's not. Maybe it's because I need to get up so much earlier than I used to and I sleep through alarms, but I've distinctly heard it not go off when it was supposed to, such as one can hear silence.
The planets are the ones on the clock itself. It's one of those fancy ones that has a display that shows the relative positions of the planets at any time from 1960 to 2200. If you push the button on top of the clock, that turns on "demonstration" mode, where it moves the planets quickly to show you how they move. I think it doesn't go off while it's doing that. I don't care about the planets anyway... I got this one because it has five alarms and because it was pretty cheap (I think it was only 20 riyals, which is something like 6 bucks.)
