For instance, in each case, we may ask whether a space can be partitioned into subsets of a certain type. Euclidean 3-space can be partitioned into paraboloids, but not into spheres; in the same way, it may or may not be possible to partition a finite geometry into curves of a specified type. This paper studies mixed partitions, in which a space is partitioned into two types of elements. We may compare to this the division of \\(\\mathbb{R}^2\\) into one point and a family of concentric circles.   The author starts with a twisted cubic \\(C\\) in \\(\\text{PG}(3,q)\\); using results from the literature, he constructs a lifting from a linear collineation of \\(\\text{PG}(1,q)\\) to one of \\(\\text{PG}(3,q)\\) that leaves \\(C\\) invariant. The lifted collineation generates a group \\(G\\) acting on \\(\\text{PG}(3,q)\\). Two orbits of \\(G\\) are lines; and the original cubic \\(C\\) is of course also an orbit of \\(G\\). Bootstrapping from the structure of \\(C\\), the remaining \\(q^2-2\\) orbits are shown first to be \\((q+1)\\)-arcs, then specifically to be twisted cubics; this is the main result of the paper.   In other results, \\(\\text{PG}(3,q)\\) is partitioned into two lines and \\(q^2-1\\) conics, and into two lines and \\(q-1\\) hyperbolic quadrics. An additional partition is given for even \\(q\\), and for projective spaces of dimension \\(n=5,7,9,\\dots\\). In the latter case, the partition is into normal rational curves and subspaces mutually intersecting in a subspace of dimension \\(n-4\\). (Considering the empty set as a subspace of dimension \\(-1\\), the main theorem fits this pattern too.)   It is unfortunate that there are several misprints and infelicities in this short paper. Most are easily corrected, a few less so. In the second-last sentence of the proof of Prop. 4.2, the second eigenvalue of \\(T^i\\) should surely be \\((2q+1)i\\), not \\((2q+1)qi\\). In the proof of Prop. 4.3, it seems unnecessary to give a point with coordinates \\((x_1,x_2,x_3,x_4)\\) the name \\(z\\) (!), by which it is never referred to again except to set it equal to \\(x+y\\) (!!) two lines later.   Propositions 4.2 and 4.3 require some unravelling. The main point of Prop. 4.2 is that orbits outside the two lines \\(l'\\) and \\(l''\\) have length \\(q+1\\); and the full strength of this is needed in Prop. 4.3. Unfortunately, the author phrases Prop. 4.2 in such a way that, taken literally, it applies only when \\(q+1\\) is not divisible by 3, in order to make the (ultimately unused) observation that in this case all orbits have this length. The statement of Prop. 4.3 (``Each orbit \\dots other than the two lines \\dots '') then compounds the confusion by inadvertently implying that the lines \\(l'\\) and \\(l''\\) are orbits even when \\(3\\mid q+1\\), which is not the case.","type":"string"},"datatype":"string"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1580997$1A3186A4-B8B7-4279-9EE6-0E25BEC53538","rank":"normal"}],"P1447":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1447","hash":"640fccf5e624eaad46c57ce9e4754ba5ad3cb9f9","datavalue":{"value":{"entity-type":"item","numeric-id":181336,"id":"Q181336"},"type":"wikibase-entityid"},"datatype":"wikibase-item"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1580997$61080524-696F-405B-82E6-0A1C60773245","rank":"normal"}],"P226":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P226","hash":"b7f523c69b687931b119f4a4ea71411e07e74e7b","datavalue":{"value":"51E23","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1580997$237975A8-6AF8-49C0-8FE8-534441C95272","rank":"normal"}],"P1451":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1451","hash":"ff98c66661f4a2f3adf167dbf34d8cdb0f0e56e2","datavalue":{"value":"1507994","type":"string"},"datatype":"external-id"},"type":"statement","id":"Q1580997$A18396C7-79B6-4FA6-A4F7-8FDA72E92C45","rank":"normal"}],"P1450":[{"mainsnak":{"snaktype":"value","property":"P1450","hash":"a7cd712b6e8903c00397b1b1f48a5e9bdafdb437","datavalue":{"value":"projective
