Duble Helix originally, of course, but that's since been reclassified as a
Differential.

Other than that, four triple-hunts:

Didymous Delight  36 - 34.16.58 - 56.18.34 - 14.38.56 - 36.58 14 12386745
Vincula Delight     -  50 -  16 - 70 - 18 -  12 -  30 -  14 -  50 -  16 -
70 14 1237950486
Oddjob Little  - 34 - 14.50.16.50 12 1534028967
Lendal Bridge Little  - 34 - 14 - 1450.36.50 12 1634290785

And two four-hunts:

Chain-link Differential  34 - 56.14.78.16.90.18.ET.10 - 1T - ET 1T
10E89674523T
Mandarin Differential Little  - 3T - 12 - 1T.36.1T.36 1T 1967852340ET

There may be a couple more - I'm not completely up-to-date.

As far as non-plain-path twin-hunt methods go, well there's all the Slow
Course methods Don, as well as quite a few twin-hunt Treble Place methods on
various numbers. Then there's a few hybrids like Merton College Minor and
Wee Willie Winkie Max.

I'm sure you could have found all that out yourself in about five minutes.
Anyway, why the interest?
