   *Reviewer’s responses to the appeal that was accepted by a vote of 2-1

I just checked my unabridged dictionary, and one meaning of "another" is
"different".  So I believe that I must accept this student's appeal.

According to my dictionary, "another" can mean a different one or one
more of the same kind.  Since this ambiguity exists, I would vote to
accept 7.

I believe the intent of the word "another" is to assert an integer exists, as opposed to a non-integral rational. I do not believe "another" refers to a necessarily "different" integer. I would therefore deny the appeal.
