Thanks.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
If it ain't broke, fix it until it is.
Always satisfy the Prime Directive of getting the right answer above all else.

Re: Janes Exercises III
Hi Jane;
So good to see you!
As usual the clever attempt is wrong. You see math and cleverness just don't go together.
Yes, one is quite wrong, or maybe both!
One is so clever
One is straight out of the book
Omnipresent traps

I forgot about #6. Thanks, scientia. 
Next question is on algebraic topology.
