Could be interesting to give a specific number, e.g. over 200x! I'm trying to find a specific source, Wikipedia says either 240x or 250x depending on the page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carboxyhemoglobin#Affinity_of_hemoglobin_for_carbon_monoxide

Problem
Estimated review size: small
The Competitive Binding module's completion page promised "View examples" (
nextButtonText) butnextButtonwas commented out, so students hit a dead end. Separately, a hemoglobin + CO competitive-binding trajectory was already wired up inPreComputedSimulationData.tsbut no content page ever used it.Fixes #226
Solution
Uncommented
nextButton: trueon the completion page, and added a new bonus content page using the existing hemoglobin/CO trajectory, mirroring the structure of High Affinity's real-world-example bonus page.Type of change
