Just so you know, there are two columns of Y subscript 3s in the first joint distribution.

This typo is still there.

Then if and only if the joint distribution of Y and Z is as follows, there is zero mutual information between Y and Z:

Z1Y1: 3/16 Z1Y2: 3/32 Z1Y3: 3/64 Z1Y3: 3/64

Z2Y1: 5/16 Z2Y2: 5/32 Z2Y3: 5/64 Z2Y3: 5/64

Fourth column has misnumbered subscripts.
