Sets contain elements. The intersection of sets (represented by an upside-down 'U') is the list of elements that are common in both sets. The union of sets (represented by 'U') is the list of all the elements in the relevant sets.

E.g. If A={a,b,c,d,e,f} and B={a,e,i,o,u}:

The intersection of A and B is {a,e}.

The union of A and B is {a,b,c,d,e,f,i,o,u} (notice how repeating elements, e.g. 'a' and 'e', are only listed once even though they occur in both sets.)

There's no fun in playing it safe. Why not try something a little unhinged?
