Remove incomplete exercise about mean-preserving spread
Deleted the second exercise (mfv_ex2) which asked about mean-preserving spread and had an incomplete solution placeholder. The exercise was about exploring how reservation wage varies with volatility while holding mean constant. Renumbered the third exercise (mfv_ex3 about risk aversion) to become the new second exercise (mfv_ex2). 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <[email protected]>

To try to understand this, compute the reservation wage when the wage offer distribution is uniform on $(m - s, m + s)$ and $s$ varies.

The idea here is that we are holding the mean constant and spreading the support.
