After addressing Issue #37, I find that every average energy plot has the feature that the highest temperature has an average energy of roughly 0. The average energy then rapidly decreases and stays at roughly that energy until the temperature gets very low. This behavior seems odd. Understanding this behavior could inform the question about why simulated annealing is not able to obtain the ferromagnetic ground state.
