HOW do you know that? Please define (for any sets A, B):

     A and B /have the same number of elements/ iff ___________________ .

(i.e. fill out the blanks). :-)

Hint: That's what Ben Bacarisse is asking for.

Sure, it's "obvious" for us. But how would you define "have the same 
number of elements" (in mathematical terms) such that it can be DEDUCED 
(!) für certain sets A and B?

Ok, I'm slighty vicious now... :-)

If a = b = c, {a, b, c} still has "the same number of elements" as {3, 
4, 5 }? :-P
