How much money would I make if I could invent a smoke alarm that automatically shuts off if someone hollers "I'm just cooking" at it?

    Plenty - but I solved that problem by not cooking. :)

    Now, that's dangerous.  A fire could start somewhere else and the smoke drifts to your apartment.  If your alarm doesn't work, you could be trapped.

    They make good kitchen items too.  Whenever one of them goes off, it means dinner's ready.

    I don't know, but I would pay top dollar for one. I have to take it down and put it in another room when I cook bacon.

    Make it with some AI so it can differentiate burning food from burning house.

    It's easier to just remove the batteries.
