[edit] 3 Bell Methods

Other methods on 3 bells? I may be wrong but I thought that there were only 2 valid methods for 3 bells (Plain Hunt and Reverse Plaint Hunt). It's famous for that. --Andrew Hyde 10:14, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

This is easy to demonstrate: there are only 6 rows and each row has only two "neighbors" (either the first two or second two bells swap positions); so they we can diagram these six rows as forming a loop; and there are only two ways to navigate a loop — clockwise or counter- (anti- for the Brits).
