This confused me at first, because they don't ever define a notion of "real extension." (They do define what they mean by "an extension.") At one point in the paper, it emerges that what they mean is what I'd call a *proper extension*: an extension which isn't identical to the original. * [More hints](/hints/assignment_7_hint_2).
