Actually, I can do better than that. If I remember correctly, all
finite simple groups are known to be generated by at most *two*
elements. I think this is a theorem of Neilsen-Schrier (correct me if
I'm wrong). At any rate, I can find 2 elements that generate the group
G. Same way I can find 2 generators each for H,I,J,K since they are all
simple groups.
BTW, do you mind calling my theorem something else? RAT sounds bad.
