  • A boo-boo on the final. With the values given for the E's in problem #7, p = 0.5 is not an equilibrium -- it should be p = 0.167. If one uses p[0] = 0.1 and p[0] = 0.2, one gets the same phenomenon as we indicate, though with all new values, but the easier fix is to swap the values of E[SS] and E[TT].
