    Hint for problem 48 in section 2.4: The line from P_1 to P_3 should be dotted in the figure, being in the back. Note that the plane through P_0, P_1, P_3 is orthogonal to the line spanned by P_2, since P_1-P_0 is orthogonal to P_2 and P_3-P_0 is orthogonal to P_2. Furthermore, the line spanned by P_2 intersects this plane at the center (P_0+P_1+P_3)/3=-(1/3)P_2 of the triangle with vertices P_0, P_1, P_3. Finally, the latter triangle has edges of equal length. Hence the rotation about its center permutes its vertices cyclically. Thus, T permutes the set of vectors P_0, P_1, P_3 cyclically.
