More on the Tree
I think I have a solution. So I looked it up -- I began at Nado's helpful site and... what was there didn't match my formula. And it is complicated because it has to separately define 4 terms... I guess it's legit but I'm dumb and want things to be elegant even when they're not. So I also googled the problem and found another solution.
I had thought my issue was that I needed a formula that I could use to build the flip-tree, so I ignored that mental rule and just wrote a formula that described the tree but which cannot be used to build it. Which I guess is cheating. But oh well! I think I could have eventually reached this other formula online had I stayed calm following my breakthrough, reinstated my rule, and tried again, which makes me happy. The best thing about the effort I put into this is that I learned how to go about solving these sorts of problems.
If you're interested, I'll leave my solution and the other solutions in the comments.
Onward to more GEB!
