So, going back to Don Morrison's thought experiment... you're having a
country stroll through a village and you hear bells being rung in the
distance. Your friend casually says to you, "is that that change-ringing
stuff you keep going on about?". Do you say...
(a) Yes. It's rather nice, isn't it?
(b) Err... hang on a minute; I'm not completely sure, there's a small but
not negligible possibility that they're ringing jump changes, cylindrical or
a dixonoid. Wait a couple of minutes while I figure out if any bells are
being swapped in non-adjacent pairs. Got any sheets of paper?
