I can try to offer 2 solutions, but I don't know if they are good enough a) assume booklearning has no influence on the zero hypothesis, i.e. that the learning of Junior and Fritz is equally good. This sounds reasonable, but may not be correct. b) assume the booklearning is part of the zero hypothesis, so that the strength of a program is also determined by its book learning abilities. If either of these fail, I would appreciate it if you could point out why. This is not my area, but I'd like to learn more. -- GCP
