Problem: Report Error
A bit like the previous problem, can you come up with a group containing and as subgroups such that
homomorphisms are in bijection with pairs of homomorphisms and

Hint: it's probably easiest to define in terms of presentations. Even if you get a presentation though, there may still be plenty
of work to do to figure out what looks like more explicitly, figure out how big it is, compare to known groups, etc!
