Yes, I was not clear.  It was the point about mapping from a solution
that uses the natural numbers that's I mentioned before.  The "bit
harder" comes from generalising to n-tuples.

(I get the feeling I should apologise for something because I think I
have annoyed or irritated you.  I'm sure I don't always get the right
tone but I really hope I've not been rude.  I'm sorry if I have been.)
