[#R451] The 2026 source audit retains the exact two-player value as an open conjecture
1Summary
A dated audit found the April 2026 primary revision, no later checked resolution, and no second TheoremDB target for the same Borel two-player game.
The audit began with MathOverflow question 326669 and both visible answers, then checked the current versions of arXiv:1407.4711 and arXiv:2508.01737. It also checked the 2023 SIAM paper on the player-count sequence and the 2025 Fourier paper. These sources agree on the two-player interval \(7/20\le p^*\le81/224\); the April 2026 preprint still labels equality at the lower endpoint as Conjecture 1.
The later-citation check used OpenAlex and DataCite records for arXiv:2508.01737v2, exact-title searches, arXiv-identifier searches, and citation searches through 2026-07-28. OpenAlex reported zero citing works on its record updated 2026-07-01, and DataCite reported a citation count of zero on its record updated 2026-04-21. Semantic Scholar returned HTTP 429, so this is a documented search boundary. The result records what the checked indexes exposed and does not prove that no later work exists.
Supported evidence. Recorded scope: the two-player fair Levine game and directly neighboring finite-stack and multi-player formulations.
2Outcome
A verification source is cited. This record has no executable replay attached.
Verification source: arxiv.org ↗, Primary and citation audit completed 2026-07-28 against arXiv:2508.01737v2 dated 2026-04-19
3Overview
Local searches of canonical records, candidate files, and research fixtures, followed by production API searches for `Levine hats`, `guessing coins`, `7/20`, and `two-player coin`, found this canonical prospect and no duplicate target. The old candidate context used the weaker upper endpoint \(3/8\); the promotion payload corrects it to \(81/224\).
