% File     : RNG010-6 : TPTP v8.2.0. Bugfixed v2.3.0.
% Domain   : Ring Theory (Right alternative)
% Problem  : Skew symmetry of the auxilliary function
% Version  : [Ste87] (equality) axioms.
% English  : The three Moufang identities imply the skew symmetry
%            of s(W,X,Y,Z) = (W*X,Y,Z) - X*(W,Y,Z) - (X,Y,Z)*W.
%            Recall that skew symmetry means that the function sign
%            changes when any two arguments are swapped. This problem
%            proves the case for swapping the first two arguments.
