More A3

After about a week of pondering this question, I finally gained some insight into how to solve it. And I am proud to write that I have (at least I think I have) solved it. The way the hint danny posted on the assignment handout was worded didn't really help me, and I was really struggling with it. I ended up finishing all the other questions before taking a look at this question again. Before attempting it again I decided to quickly peruse piazza to see if anyone else was struggling. I noticed a few people had raised concerns about the question. Luckily for me Danny had posted his hint again but reworded it in a way that really helped me think about the problem and eventually led me to working out the solution. The key for me was to think of the problem like "Ok so if the machine has less than 16 states, then two or more strings share a state. Then if this is true, what is the problem with that?" I am now proud to say that I think I am done the assignment. All that is left to do is to type up the solution. I am very thankful that I am done, I have a lot of other projects and tests going on this week and this is one less!
