[r-t] group theory questions

[Alexander Holroyd]

I realize the following questions will be of interest only to a very few 
people, but this list still seems a good venue (I certainly don't want to 
exclude anyone who might be interested).

1. If an abstract finite group can be generated by involutions, can it be 
realized as a permutation group generated by place notations?

2. Can every finite simple group that is generated by involutions be 
generated by three involutions?
