PROBLEM #32
Is it possible for two nonempty sets to have the same intersection and union? If so,
give an example.
pROBLEM #64
Electoral College U.S. presidential elections are decided
by the Electoral College, in which each of the 50 states,
plus the District of Columbia, gives all of its votes to a candidate.†
Ignoring the number of votes each state has in the
Electoral College, but including all possible combinations
of states that could be won by either candidate, how many
outcomes are possible in the Electoral College if there are
two candidates? (Hint: The states that can be won by a candidate
form a subset of all the states.)

You can put this solution on YOUR website! PROBLEM #32

If the sets are equal they will have the same intersection and union.
Example: A={1,2,3} and B={1,2,3}

-------
There are 2^50 subsets ranging from the set with all the states
to the set with no states. Corresponding to each of these subsets
won by one of the candidates the other candidate wins the complementary
subset.
