WC'98 and Symmetry !
Dear all,
It has come to our attention that there is a motif of interest to the
crystallographic community, concerning England's imminant inevitable
victory in the World Cup.
If one examines the winners over the last three decades:
1966 1970 1974 1978 1982 1986 1990 1994 1998
Engl Brasil Germany Argent. Italy Argent. Germany Brasil ????

one can see there is a startling symmetry element lying around 1982.
Given that symmetry is a fundamental reality in Nature, which is highly
valued
by the xtallographic community, we offer you a unique opprtunity to
finance future
projects (ie vacation in the Caribbean ..) by placing a few 1:12 bets
with the appropriate (legal ?) professionals.
Tasos & Jonathan
P.S. Is the symmetry element a 2-fold or rather a mirror plane ?
