An incomplete degree is cuppable if it can be joined by an incomplete degree to a complete degree. For sets fulfilling some type of simplicity property one can now ask whether these sets are cuppable with respect to a certain type of reducibilities. Several such results are known. In this paper we settle all the remaining cases for the standard notions of simplicity and all the main strong reducibilities.

The property of smallness for Π01 classes is introduced and is investigated with respect to Medvedev and Muchnik degree. It is shown that the property of containing a small Π01 class depends only on the Muchnik degree of a Π01 class. A comparison is made with the idea of thinness for Π01 classesmsthm.
