-====== When Do Two Simple Shifts Span The Sameset ====== 
-==== Problem ==== 
-Consider the sets $H_{12}$ and $H_{15}$ of simple shift permutations on alphabets with 12 and 15 letters respectively. 
-  - For each $k\in\{0,1,2,\ldots,11\}$, make a list of the elements in $H_{12}$ that are in $\text{span}(\{\phi_k\})$ and state the order of $\phi_k$ as an element of $H_{12}$.  
-  - For each $k\in\{0,1,2,\ldots,14\}$, make a list of the elements in $H_{15}$ that are in $\text{span}(\{\phi_k\})$ and state the order of $\phi_k$ as an element of $H_{15}$.  
-  - In general, if we are considering simple shift permutations in $H_n$, then when does $\text{span}(\{\phi_j\})=\text{span}(\{\phi_k\})$? Make a conjecture about when these two spans are equal.  Then check your conjecture against the list above.
