The original publication of Alexander Gebharter’s “Solving the flagpole problem” (in vol. 44, no. 1, 2013) contains two typos.

In step 3 of the SGS algorithm presented on p. 65 there appears a ‘Y’ instead of a ‘Z’ twice. In particular, step 3 of the SGS algorithm should read as follows: “For all X,Y,Z∈V: If X–Y–Z (or X→Y–Z) and X and Z are non-adjacent (not X–Z), then orient X–Y–Z (and accordingly X→Y–Z) as X→Y←Z in the graph resulting from step 2 if and only if X and Z are probabilistically dependent conditional on every subset M of V\{X,Z} with Y∈M.”
