6 The group \(( G , \boldsymbol { A } )\) has the elements \(e , r , r ^ { 2 } , q , q r\) and \(q r ^ { 2 }\), where \(r ^ { 2 } = r \boldsymbol { \Delta } r , q r = q \boldsymbol { \Delta } r , q r ^ { 2 } = q \boldsymbol { \Delta } r ^ { 2 }\) and \(e\) is the identity element of \(G\). The elements \(q\) and \(r\) have the following properties: $$\begin{aligned} & r \boldsymbol { \Delta } r \boldsymbol { \Delta } r = e
& q \boldsymbol { \Delta } q = e
& r ^ { 2 } \boldsymbol { \Delta } q = q \boldsymbol { \Delta } r \end{aligned}$$ 6
