I discussed the sort of thing Bernhard had in mind concerning the BFC-problem in [3], an article written for his sixieth birthday. This vigesennial contribution deals with one of the “and others”, namely the zero deficiency problem. in his article [1] bearing the same title as this one, Bernhard gave 2-generator 2-relator presentations of some metacyclic groups; if one distils and formalises the process used there, one gets the following result, to be used later in constructing some zero-deficiency finite p-groups.
