All you have to do in question 4 is to list three non-equivalent
assignments, and then pick the best among these three and generate
the equations for that one.

The way the question is presented, you could assume that it is
a Moore machine with eight outputs (lots of equations to write!!)
or a Mealy machine and interprete the columns under the
"Present Output" column as the values of two outputs under
different input conditions (what I intended --- and is easier).
