[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).

Of course, people will refer to non-valid methods as methods - if you've haven't rung the frontwork of Stedman on 3 or the front half of Bristol on 4, you haven't lived ;-) --62.58.152.52 12:59, 24 January 2007 (UTC)
