% Domain   : General Algebra (Quasivarieties)
% Problem  : Prove J follows from HBCK
% Version  : [EF+02] axioms.
% English  : Axioms for the quasivariety HBCK are given below. Show that
%            equation J follows.

% Status   : Unsatisfiable
% Rating   : 1.00 v2.5.0
% Syntax   : Number of clauses     :    8 (   0 non-Horn;   7 unit;   2 RR)
%            Number of atoms       :   10 (  10 equality)
%            Maximal clause size   :    3 (   1 average)
%            Number of predicates  :    1 (   0 propositional; 2-2 arity)
%            Number of functors    :    4 (   3 constant; 0-2 arity)
%            Number of variables   :   14 (   1 singleton)
%            Maximal term depth    :    5 (   2 average)

% Comments : This result has been known for some time by a model-theoretic
%            argument. The first  1storder proof was found by Veroff in 2002.
