2Authored explanation
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.
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 \(81/224\).
