[Cs5500] Error when running MMG Playground

Jessica,

               Yes this takes place only between clever avatars, especially
when Bob or Alice try to provide an instance.
               The size of the array is 1, but for some reason, this
function is being called twice, so it tries to assign 2 instances to indices
0 and 1 and then throws an ArrayIndexOutOFBounds Exception.
               This problem does not occur between baby avatars. So I'm
guessing this could be a problem with my clever avatar. I'll try running
tournaments today with clever avatars of other teams and see if this issue
pops up.
                Thanks for the help !
