Random UXD question: how is it that most alarm clocks/apps don't have a 'skip next instance' option? Can I really be the only one who's ever woken up early and worried I'd forget to turn the alarm back on at night? Android clock app is the only popular one I've seen do this.

3) privacy

What would make your list?

Flip a fair coin 100 times—it gives a sequence of heads (H) and tails (T). For each HH in the sequence of flips, Alice gets a point; for each HT, Bob does, so e.g. for the sequence THHHT Alice gets 2 points and Bob gets 1 point. Who is most likely to win?
