I'm like 99 percent the theorem is true, can't seem to prove it. Have tried a few methods, closest I have got is trying to prove the contra-positive. Any help with this problem would be extremely appreciated, thanks in advance!

    The above counterexample does not work, since $A cap D$ and $C cap D$ are both empty. However, by taking $D = {1,6,5}$ I think we are done : although $A cap C = {3}$ and $B cap D = {6}$ are disjoint, we see that $3 in A cap B, 1 in A cap D, 3 in C cap B$ and $5 in C cap D$ are true. So $F = {A,C}$ and $G = {B,D}$ serves as a counterexample.

Counterexample : $A = {1,2,3}$, $C = {3,4,5}$, $B = {3,6,7}$, $D = {1,5,6}$ with $F = {A,C}$ and $G = {B,D}$.



In particular, $3 in A cap B$, $3 in C cap B$, $5 in C cap D$ , $1 in A cap D$. However, $cap F = {3}$ and $cap G = {6}$ are disjoint.

                      3 Recently upgrade to 18.10 from 18.04, and using the terminal is becoming annoying: the new alert sound is a drip ( /usr/share/sounds/gnome/default/alerts/drip.ogg ), and the previous one is still located at ( /usr/share/sounds/ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg ). My issue is that at the gnome-terminal, when autocompleting or pressing left BOTH sounds are reproduced, at the same time. I want to just have ubuntu/stereo/bell.ogg active, not both . At the moment I have been only able to reduce the volume of the alerts (but still both are played), or turn the alerts down (but I dislike both "solutions"). gnome-terminal 18.10 teminal-bell share | improve this question ...

                      up vote 5 down vote favorite 2 I would like to make it so that the vertical space below the title of each chapter is the same when using the Bjornstrup package (i.e. so that the descenders do not affect the spacing - as shown by the red arrow in the picture below). I think I'm fairly happy with the spacing around "A chapter", so I'd really like titles without descenders (e.g. "Contents") to have the same vertical spacing as "A chapter" below the title.
