[Cs4800] CS4800 - HW6 question

[Karl Lieberherr]

Hi David:

it is the second. In the HSR playground there are many optimum claims
and therefore we want proposed claims to be new. We don't want that
an avatar can repeat the same claim again and again against the same partner
avatar. This would make the game less interesting.

Of course, by generateRandomClaim you mean to generate an optimum claim.
