 \begin{enumerate}
+\item (Optional) Often problems in e-voting are due to
+      difficulties with authentication. Keep this in mind for
+      what could go wrong with the following discount offered
+      by an insurance company: John Hancock is partnering with
+      Vitality, which you might know as one of those
+      work-related wellness programmes. The programme is
+      available in 30 US states. If you sign up for this, John
+      Hancock will send you a free Fitbit monitor. That's a
+      tiny, pill-shaped device that some people wear in
+      sleek-looking bracelets to track how far they walk/run,
+      the calories burned, and the quality of sleep. That
+      means the insurance company would know exactly when a
+      customer does a sit-up, how far she runs -- or when he
+      or she has skipped the gym for a few days. For `good'
+      customers there will be a discount in their premiums. 
+      Why is this a problem?
