Emily - please don't read this. Thanks!
VW! Sure!
And I promise not to tell Em.

As far as I know, Devon cream is clotted cream made with milk from Devon cows. (And I think the whole clotted cream concept may have originated there.)
[And the BBC seems to agree with me -- if not the cream itself, then at least the cream tea.]

What is even happening?

I noodled around the site, and they note the Double Devon Cream is a little more creamy/less buttery than their Clotted Cream. Now must try them all. Must make scones, too.

Mostly lurking...
I should get some of that for my Afternoon Tea. Mmmmmmm...

Oh. They have clotted cream with Drambuie. [link]

Emily. Star Market had it? Are there still Star Markets?
Er... well, it's Shaw's now. I don't know if it still has it, though. I know Cardullo's in Harvard Square does.
Hil, here's what I'm thinking. What if A is R, B is Z, and sigma is... oh. See, I'm still having some trouble with permutations versus functions. But it doesn't say A or B have to be finite -- does permutation have to be on a finite set?
I really understand things much better in lectures. Just out of the book, I'm hopeless.
ETA: Just reread the first paragraph of the chapter, where it says, "In this section, we construct some finite groups whose elements, called permutations, act on finite sets."
Duhhhhh.

Larry's always has clotted cream. That won't help you non-Seattleites, tho.

Okay, so Hil, you're saying that sigma[B] has to be B itself, not a proper subset of B? Cause, how else could it be a permutation? (Part of my problem here is that the chapter doesn't seem to have a formal definition of permutation anywhere.*) If that's so, then it's gotta be closed under inversion (er, do we say "closed under inversion"? Isn't inversion an old term for homosexuality? Not that that has anything to do with anything, I'm just grasping at any tangent which will keep me from having to address the other two problems which might as well be written in a foreign language waaaaah!) and the set of such sigmas is a subgroup of SsubA.
Note: * except for "8.3 Definition: A permutation of a set A is a function phi from A to A that is both one to one and onto." See the problem I have with reading?

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Wait. I'm confused. They give Drambuie to cows in Devon?
