The Attempt at a Solution



The onyl way I know how to fill in a k-map from a table like that is to go down the present state and the next state and fill in the boxes. But on this one there are 5 of each and only 4 spots on the k-map. Any hints would be great.

You have three missing states for which there is no next state specified. That gives 8 states for 3 ff's, and I see 8 squares in the map, not 4. Put the three missing states in and use don't cares for the next states for them.
