I strongly doubt that this is the maximum number of rollups possible,
but it is an improvement on that metric. Besides upping that to 57 of
the possible 96, it also evens up the method balance a bit and
contains back rounds, which the original does not. It also ups the
number of changes of method, though that is perhaps a bit of a cheat
since it has more leads! And, for those with unreasonable allergies to
such things, it contains the same number of backstroke 87s as the
original, just 4. I think the arrangement of the bobs is pleasingly
tidy, too, and the overall composition is nearly a palindrome.
