In case 1, let g<sub>1</sub> = (2, 1) &minus; (1, 1), g<sub>2</sub> = (1, 2) &minus; (2, 1), and g<sub>3</sub> = (1, 1) &minus; (''n''/2, 2) = (&minus;''n''/2*g<sub>1</sub> &minus; g<sub>1</sub> &minus; ''n''/2*g<sub>2</sub>) mod e. We have the chain g<sub>1</sub> g<sub>2</sub> g<sub>1</sub> g<sub>2</sub> ... g<sub>1</sub> g<sub>3</sub> which visits every note in ''S''.
