Suppose I have a list of sublists:
d={{1, 19}, {1, 23}, {1, 5, 25}, {1, 17}, {1, 11}, {1, 5}}
How do I find the elements common to all the sublists?
I can do it using intersection:
Intersection[dx[[1]], dx[[2]], dx[[3]], dx[[4]], dx[[5]], dx[[6]]]
which yields, correctly, {1}, but what if the number of sublists in d is variable?
