Oh, Pete, my 12-year-old just brought home his first deck of Magic cards. I blame you.
You know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who's in ruttin' command here.

Hey. New board.
What's that symbol being used for? Size of the permutation group? If so, then just calculate sigma squared, sigma cubed, etc, until you get back to sigma, then count how many elements you have there.
I'm actually doing similar stuff right now. And it's not really all that FG, to tell the truth. Yeah, that'd be my rec, too.

I have a headache and I want to go home and make sure Ozzie and Perkins haven't killed each other while I've been at work.
Who wants to write me a note?

That's the same brand I used to get out here at Star Market.
Hil, why didn't I think of that? Cause I'm a dumbass. Also, I missed class. Thank you! So riddle me this, o wise one: if A is a set and B is a subset of it, given a permutation on B which gives a subset of B, does the inverse of that permutation also give a subset of B? Hmmm? I don't even know if that sentence made sense. I may just have to keep wrestling with it.

What is even happening?
Jess, is there a difference between clotted cream and Devon cream?
eta...
I mean, I know you linked me to clotted, but the write up mentioned Devon cream also, and I've read of that before, and wondered, and so...just so.
Emily. Star Market had it? Are there still Star Markets?

Dear Big!Boss of Perkins,
Perkins needs to go home immediately. It's of national security importance.
Thanks ever so much!

Yes, I am doing this RIGHT NOW.
Oh, dear, now I'll have to buy some. (checks budget) Do you take Paypal?
On thinking of it further, I think Alumni of works better, since all the words are small words. "Miskatonic" balances "Association" better.

No, no it's not.
Hee.
Cass, I'm sorry about the lay-off and wishing you AT LEAST a few calming days in your pajamas. Well, that and winning the lottery.

I'm procrastinating. Don't tell Emily. She'll make me do my lab report.

f A is a set and B is a subset of it, given a permutation on B which gives a subset of B, does the inverse of that permutation also give a subset of B? Hmmm?
I'm almost positive it does. Wait. If you're doing a permutation which sends B to a subset of B, then it must send B to B, since you can't send more then one element to the same place. So the permutation permutes the elements of B, and separately permutes the elements of A\B. So the the inverse just sends everything back to where it came from, and so it must also permute the elements of B. Right?
