> I wonder how it looks on the other proof assistants. It seems an 
interesting example related to the topic of de Bruijn factors and the 
difficulty of proving theorems formally vs. informally.

My understanding is that a noticeable part of the metamath proof is taken 
by work with quantifiers, variables etc, and this is usually handled 
(semi-) automatically in other proof assistants.

"main" area, instead of in a mathbox.

I would be happy if they did, but I think it's best to apply our usual rule 
here - theorems generally stay in mathboxes until someone else requires it.

> Twelfth theorem proved.

Since Gino is moving at an alarming pace, I have updated the problem set 
with 6 bonus problems, which ask to prove that that the Mendelsohn-Padmanabhan 
identity *characterizes* abelian groups of exponent 2. Essentially it's 
mendpadm + an argument showing that this identity holds in boolean groups. 
I didn't put these statements initially since I wasn't entirely sure if 
anyone was going to participate at all (I'm glad that I was wrong), but 
beware that new problems might be a bit more technical even though they are 
trivial from the mathematical standpoint.
