    11 \item (Optional) Often problems in e-voting are due to

    13       what could go wrong with the following discount offered
       
    14       by an insurance company: John Hancock is partnering with
       
    15       Vitality, which you might know as one of those
       
    16       work-related wellness programmes. The programme is
       
    17       available in 30 US states. If you sign up for this, John
       
    18       Hancock will send you a free Fitbit monitor. That's a
       
    19       tiny, pill-shaped device that some people wear in

    23       customer does a sit-up, how far she runs -- or when he
       
    24       or she has skipped the gym for a few days. For `good'
       
    25       customers there will be a discount in their premiums. 
       
    26       Why is this a problem?
