Abstract
In this paper we describe methods for finding very small maximal subgroups of very large groups, with particular application to the subgroup 47:23 of the Baby Monster. This example is completely intractable by standard or naive methods. The example of finding 31:15 inside the Thompson group $\text{Th}$
is also discussed as a test case.
