COMMENTS
The sum of the orders of all elements of a finite group G is denoted by psi(G).
psi(A X B) = psi(A)*psi(B) for finite groups A and B of coprime orders.
psi(G) <= 7/11 psi(C_n) < psi(C_n) for every noncyclic finite group G of order n.
psi(G) < 1/(p - 1) psi(C_n) for every noncyclic finite group G of order n, where p the smallest prime divisor of n.
Conjecture: If S is a simple group and G is a soluble group satisfying |S|=|G|, then psi(S) < psi(G).
