1. Prove that there is a degree one normal map $(f, \overline f) \colon M \to S^3$$(f, \overline f) \colon M \to S^3$ (since $\pi_3(BSO) = 0$$\pi_3(BSO) = 0$, the target bundle is trivial).
2. Prove that $(f, \overline f) \colon M \to S^3$$(f, \overline f) \colon M \to S^3$ is normally bordant to a homotopy equivalence.
