A simple question about tuesday's discussion. When solving for the eigenvector for the second and third eigenstate, I am getting

<math>|s_2\rangle = |s_3\rangle = \begin{bmatrix} 0
1
1 \end{bmatrix}</math>

but the answers we arrived at in discussion were

<math>|s_2\rangle = \begin{bmatrix} 0
1
0 \end{bmatrix}</math> and <math>|s_3\rangle = \begin{bmatrix} 0
0
1 \end{bmatrix}</math>

So what am I missing here? Thanks.
