They prove division by 3 preserves bijection between arbitrary sets without using the axiom of choice.
From the intorduction:
"For any sets A and B, if there is a one-to-one correspondence
between 3 × A and 3 × B then there is a one-to-one correspondence between A and B. Here 3 denotes the standard three-element set {0, 1, 2} and × denotes Cartesian product."
