I have to say this doesn't seem so exciting.  It's a plain doubles method, 
so it's no surprise that there's a simple extent.  The reverse is a bob 
lead of Wainfleet Place.

When I first learned about change ringing but had no idea what people 
would actually consider worth ringing, I came up with the following 
"iterative" way to get the extent on any number.

E.g. on 7:

method=34567.4567.34567.4567.34567.567
b=67, s=7, e=1, in place of 567

A[pppbpppbpppbpppbppps]
4A
A(with e for s)

7 part
