If $X = \{1, 2, 3, 4\}$ and $\sim$ is an equivalence relation on $X$, then if $1 \sim 2$ and $2 \sim 3$ show that there are just two possibilities for the relation $\sim$ and describe both relations.
This was a bonus question assigned on our last test in proofs. We were studying sets and equivalence relations in particular. As it is a proofs class, there must be proof statements and such included. I wasn't able to even begin to figure this question out though.
Either everything is related to everything, or the only thing 4 is related to is itself.
