Daylight Saving Time Ending Experiment

This Sunday, November 1, 2015, at 2:00 AM, the time will go back to 1:00 AM, so there will be two hours of 1 AM.

Set the alarm on your smart phone to something in that hour, like 1:30 AM.

Set the alarm length to not indefinite (I'll probably set it at just a minute) and obviously don't manually turn it off the first time it goes off.

If you actually do this and enter an answer in the poll, mention what model of phone you used.

OK, I just made a recurring alarm for every Sunday at 1:25 a.m. This is going to be so annoying if it works. :)

Wait, is it supposed to be recurring or not?

I checked my 1:30 alarm at 1 and my said "alarm at for one and a half hours from now" which was interesting.

iPhone went off once, on the first 1:30 AM. I used recurring set for Sundays at 1:30 AM. On the second 1:30 AM the alarm was on but it didn't ring.

Today Daylight Saving Time began at 2:00 AM. Namely, it went from 1:59 AM to 3:00 AM. I set my phone's alarm for Sunday, March 13, 2016 at 2:01 AM. The alarm went off at 3:01 AM. Interesting.
