From a recent visit to Morocco. I passed through Agadir, Essaouira, Marrakesh, Fez and Casablanca.

Phone PIN Lock Calculator
On my Android phone (running Cyanogenmod), when I press the power button it presents me with a PIN lock screen:
iPhones and stock Android phones show something similar (although at least on my iPad, I have to swipe first, and then enter a PIN to unlock).
Today, wanting to work out a quick sum, I reached for my phone and realised that the unlock screen is so close to being what I instantly needed, but instead I had to unlock, swipe one screen left to reach the calculator, tap it, and then get to work.
Perhaps some small modifications could be made to the PIN lock screen to make it useful as a calculator? For example, an out-of-the-way button on the left of the screen could activate a calculator mode.
Once in the mode, one of course can bang out some sums:
Excuse the rough Photoshopping, but you get the idea. Adding complexity to the lock screen system would mean more code to vet carefully for security flaws, but otherwise, the PIN lock would still serve its purpose.
