Additional tools: In addition to the tools provided for you from the first part of the set and those described already for the manager, you will have additional tools at your disposal to help aid your communication with the other members of the firm during the search process.

For firm employees: You have been granted an additional button along with your "search!" button. If you press the button "Send Max", it will automatically send a message to the firm manager that reports 1) the maximum value you have achieved so far and 2) the combination of variables that achieved this value.

For firm managers: In addition to your chat tools, you are given another space where you may enter a location, sugar content, and lemon content along with a value at that combination of variables and click the "Send Location" button. This will send this information to all firm employees simultaneously.

While the maximum values at each location and the combination of variables that yield these maximum values will likely be different from the first part of the set, they are identical for each member of the firm in the second part of the set across all rounds for this set. That is, if some combination of location, sugar content, and lemon content yields a payoff of 45 for one member of the firm, this same combination will yield this same payoff for all members of this firm for all three rounds of the second part of the set.

Firm payoffs: All members of the firm will earn the average value achieved by the employees in the firm at the end of the third round of the set. Keep in mind that the value achieved by any individual employee is the maximum value found by any combination of variables during their search. This means that the payoff for all firm members is the average of the maximum value for the firm employees (not including the manager) that was achieved by each individual employee across three rounds of searching.
