Here's my third try. I'll continue working on the (power x) problem. m.a.

  This is far better! Not yet correct though.


  I gave you the hint that there are 8 elements. Let us count:


  The empty set { } ..................................1
  Three singletons {1}, {2}, {3}................3
  Two doubletons {1,2 }, {2,3 }................2
  The biggest subset {1,2,3}..................1


  01 + 03 + 02 + 1 = 7


  A subset is missing! Can you see which one?
