A top hat that brushes teeth has won 10,000 pounds in a wacky invention competition.
Sam Hunter Baxter, the inventor, competed with 300 other wacky entries and his invention is going to be made into a real gadget, the Mirror reported.
The 19-year-old Bristol music degree student said that one day while brushing his teeth, he calculated that on average people spend 75 days of their life with a toothbrush in hand.
He added that the odd invention challenge gave him the chance to share his idea for a gadget to avoid wasting time.
Baxter said that winning 10,000 pounds and actually having his invention made is fantastic, plus now he gets an extra two minute lie-in each morning.
