Abstract: We examine the dual of the so-called "hit problem", the latter being the problem of determining a minimal generating set for the cohomology of products of infinite projective spaces as module over the Steenrod Algebra $mathcalA$ at the prime 2. The dual problem is to determine the set of $mathcalA$-annihilated elements in homology. The set of $mathcalA$-annihilateds has been shown by David Anick to be a free associative algebra. In this note we prove that, for each $kgeq0$, the set of {it $k$ partially $mathcalA$-annihilateds}, the set of elements that are annihilated by $S{q}^i$ for each $ileq{2}^k$, itself forms a free associative algebra.
