On the Baker's map and the Simplicity of the Higher Dimensional Thompson Groups nV

We show that the baker's map is a product of transpositions (particularly pleasant involutions), and conclude from this that an existing very short proof of the simplicity of Thompson's group V applies with equal brevity to the higher dimensional Thompson groups nV.
