[blockquote] Joe G:
Let x = $10 and y = $20
The set {x,y} contains $30
the power set { {}, {x}, {y}, {x, y} } also contains $30.
$30 = $30 [/blockquote]
I'm a little hazy on my set theory these days, but based on Joe's approach, shouldn't the power set be 60?
'cause I get {{0}, {10}, {20}, {30}} = 60
...and 60 /=30
:O |
Joe never spelled out precisely how his operation of converting sets to dollar amounts works, so it's not clear. But yeah, I think $60 would make more sense.
His position seems to have changed slightly, though:
Quote | Sheik: I think you're learning, Joe, despite yourself. Do you now agreee that {x, y} ? { {}, {x}, {y}, {x, y} }?
