Why is this question considered undergraduate?
@fedja, at the time, I could not imagine what misunderstanding would lead to such a strange post. Thanks to David, I have another option besides mathematical error (shudder) and trolling (uncharacteristic and not clearly warranted) to suggest your comment. The world seems right once more.

@David, thanks for that bit of detective work. It lends support to the notion that fedja is not trolling, which was my hope.

@fedja, I think you solved a different problem. I get different numbers for K=2.

@user38397, thank you for your comment. I will try suggesting math.SE first next time.

@Andy, if you're right, mission accomplished. I still have the opinion a different approach was needed here. Moving on to more productive pursuits...

I don't know if you can comment on this answer. You should be able to post a response as another answer or question edit. Not optimal, I know.

migration issues
Thank you also for this. If nothing else (and even if the community disagrees with my perspective), I find in this support for my belief that a mistake was made in migrating just one of the questions, even if the mistake was unintentional.

migration issues
@S. Carnahan. I am feeling judgmental, and it seems my choice of words reflect that. From my perspective, I see two questions that deserve equal treatment, and they are not getting it. Stefan Kohl makes a good distinction, but to me that seems more a reason for closing, editing and reopening than for migration. It is my intent to understand more than to challenge; Emil's comment comes closest to answering my intent. If you need to understand my motivation for choice of words, take it as a belief of unequal treatment.

Thank you for covering the technical aspect. Is this spelled out on meta.stackexchange or in help documents somewhere?

It could very well be a matter of non-uniform practice. My experience with migration is close to nil: my belief was that there were guidelines that were clear to follow, and that things were migrated accordingly. Put it down to my naivete and faith in the system. If the answer is "We haven't gotten to it yet.", I would understand. I could stand more information about the consequences of migration. No offense meant regarding policy, it's just that poor practice did not occur to me as I was writing this question.

@Tim, I will check with the mods. Thanks for the data point.

Mugs, Stickers And Shirts - Now With 100% More MathOverflow!
I would appreciate commentary from MathOverflow Foundation reps (moderators as well) on the following likely (better than 30% chance) scenario: I would be attending ICM in Seoul in mid August, and am willing to devote some time to promoting MathOverflow. How much swag to order, and how to use it? There are also logistic issues, as well as some political issues. For example, is MO 1.0 style publicity favored over MO 2.0 style? Does MOF have a public relations guide for me to follow? Do I pass out mugs informally, or whip out my smart phone and give a 30 second demo before they get a mug?

Grassmann's "general theory of forms": an appropriate question for MathOverflow?
I don't say that you are misunderstanding the passage so much as putting too much hope in the generality. If you axiomatize exterior algebras, you will have a more general framework, which won't buy you much unless you take a model-theoretic or mathematical-logic perspective: the structures you study will still smell like exterior algebras with that axiomatization.
