In mmmmathematics, a set is a collection of things. Some set contain themselves, some don't.
For example, if we create a set called 'polysyllabic' that contains all things whose names have more than one syllable, then it will contain itself because its name, polysyllabic, is, well, er... polysyllabic.
However, the set 'monosyllabic' (containing only things with one-syllable names) will not be included in itself.
So, let us create a super set (call it M) that only contains set that do not contain themselves. For example, 'monosyllabic' will be part of this set, because it does not contain itself?
Will M contain itself?
m?
Now there's a math riddle worthy of a secret.
I'm so excited... I can't contain myself.

Well, I thought it was "m" but I guess not, give us another hint.
