In her 1990 thesis, Ahmad showed that there is a so-called “Ahmad pair”, i.e., there are incomparable Σ2-enumeration degrees a0 and a1 such that every enumeration degree x < a0 is ≤ a1. At the same time, she also showed that there is no “symmetric Ahmad pair”, i.e., there are no incomparable Σ2-enumeration degrees a0 and a1 such that every enumeration degree x0 < a0 is ≤ a1 and such that every enumeration degree x1 < a1 is ≤ a0. In this paper, we first present a direct proof of Ahmad’s second result. We then show that her first result cannot be extended to an “Ahmad triple”, i.e., there are no Σ2-enumeration degrees a0, a1 and a2 such that both (a0,a1) and (a1,a2) are an Ahmad pair. On the other hand, there is a “weak Ahmad triple”, i.e., there are pairwise incomparable Σ2-enumeration degrees a0, a1 and a2 such that every enumeration degree x < a0 is also ≤ a1 or ≤ a2; however neither (a0,a1) nor (a0,a2) is an Ahmad pair.
