  Comments:
  All the papers were right but we selected Jones' for publication because
his part b was the most general.

INSTRUCTOR'S COMMENT:  Jon's argument for part b is to construct the cross
product as the vector independent of the two given vectors.  This is
correct and clever, but I can't agree that it is the most general method.
What happens if the space is not 3-dimensional?  The other two papers
employed more general methods, but each was for some reason or another not
quite suitable for publication.
