[[File:Fifteen set cards.jpg|thumb|right|twelve Set cards]]
The card game, Set, is played with a pack of 81 cards, each of which depicts either one, two, or three diamonds, ovals, or squiggles. The symbols are coloured red, green, or purple, and the shading is either solid, striped, or open. No two cards are identical. 

In the game a number of cards are layed out face up and the players try to identify "sets" within the cards.

A set is three cards where either the symbols on the cards are all the same or they are all different, the number of symbols on the cards are all the same or all different, the colours are all the same or all different, and the shadings are all the same or all different.

For example, this is a set:

<pre>two solid green ovals
one open green squiggle
three striped green diamonds</pre>

because each card depicts a different symbol, the number of symbols on each card is different, the colours are all the same, and the shadings are all different.

This is not a set:

<pre>two solid purple ovals
one open green squiggle
three striped green diamonds</pre>

because two of the cards are green and one is purple, so the colours are neither all the same nor all different.

;task:

::* Create a representation of a pack of Set cards, shuffle it, select a specified number of cards from the pack and list them in the output.

::* Identify the sets in the selected cards and list them.

The [[Set puzzle]] task is so similar that the [[Set puzzle#Common_Lisp|Common Lisp solution]] there could be used with only slight modification.  Here we take a somewhat more different approach by creating the deck as a vector, so that it can be shuffled more efficiently, rather than taking a random sample from the deck represented as a list.

Compare [[#Acornsoft_Lisp|Acornsoft Lisp]] above.

Cards are 0..80 in decimal, which is 0000..2222 in base 3, and we can just 
subtract '/' from each digit to get indexes 1..3 to the constants.

Why does <code>isset</code>, the word that tests if three cards constitute a set, use <code>+</code> and <code>mod</code>? 

If we map any of the properties, say colour, onto the numbers 0, 1 and 2, then the sum of three colours mod 3 is 0 if and only if all the colours are different or all the colours are the same. This can be confirmed exhaustively, or for the underlying mathematics see the first two paragraphs of the section "A Mathematical Perspective" (pages 7 and 8) in this paper: 

::[https://web.math.princeton.edu/~charchan/SET.pdf SETs and Anti-SETs: The Math Behind the Game of SET, by Charlotte Chan]

<code>transpose</code> is defined at [[Matrix transposition#Quackery]].

<code>comb</code> and <code>arrange</code> are defined at [[Combinations#Quackery]].
