If ℝ#$\mathbb R^\sharp$ exists then why is cof(θL(ℝ)) = ω$\textrm{cof}(\Theta^{L(\mathbb R)})=\omega$? Also I have the same question for the L(Vλ+1)$L(V_{\lambda+1})$ generalization (if it's actually a different proof; I presume it isn't), i.e. if θ$\Theta$ is defined as the sup of the surjections in L(Vλ+1)$L(V_{\lambda+1})$ of Vλ+1$V_{\lambda+1}$ onto an ordinal, then if Vλ+1#$V_{\lambda+1}^\sharp$ exists why is cof(θL(Vλ+1)) = ω$\textrm{cof}(\Theta^{L(V_{\lambda+1})}) = \omega$?
