A set is $reciprocally\ whole$ if its elements are distinct integers greater than 1 and the sum of the reciprocals of all these elements is exactly 1. Find a set $S$, as small as possible, that contains two reciprocally whole subsets, $I$ and $J$, which are distinct, but not necessarily disjoint (meaning they may share elements, but they may not be the same subset). Prove that no set with fewer elements than $S$ can contain two reciprocally whole subsets.
