Was there anything secret in this email? Why not use the list?

I doubt my assignment is optimal. However, it is not bad.

You can use my state assignment. Are you just swapping variables? What is
your goal? Any state assignment will work as long as your state diagram is
correct. Some state assignments may be more efficient than others. I spent
some time trying different assignments to arrive at the one I suggested. You
can try the same thing if you want to understand state assignment well.
