[r-t] ringing the Mathieu group

[Alexander Holroyd]

Here is today's brain teaser.

Consider the three 12-bell place notations
x 125T 18ET

The group generated by these pns (i.e. the set of all rows you can get to 
from rounds using only these pns) contains 95040 rows.  It is a very 
interesting group from a mathematical perspective, called the Mathieu 
Group M_12.  (It is the second smallest of the 26 "sporadic groups").  One 
interesting property is that it is "sharply 5-transitive", which means 
that any given 5 bells (e.g. 12345) ring exactly once of each of the 
possible places that 5 bells can occupy (counting different orders of 
12345 as different), giving 12x11x10x9x8 = 95040 rows.

According to the "Lovasz conjecture", it should be possible to ring a true 
round block of these 95040 rows using only these three pns.  Can anyone 
come up with an elegant way of doing this?  It would obviously be nice to 
do it right-place, ie without 3 consecutive blows.  I don't know whether 
that's possible.
