[r-t] Auryn

[Alexander Holroyd]

Hi Robin,

Of course you are right that the second 34-section has the opposite parity 
to the first one, otherwise there would be no hope of a bobs-only 720. 
(By "34 section" I meant the first one).

Mike Ovenden's June 05 posting is indeed somewhat relevant here, but to my 
mind does not resolve the issue.

Mike's approach is concerned with determining whether there is a true set 
of leads (or half leads) that give the extent.  In the case of Auryn that 
is trivially the case, because of the original interpretation in terms of 
the mirror-symmetric group: two leads of Auryn is half of this group (and 
a subgroup of index 2), one lead is a quarter.  Your observation below is 
a manifestation of this.

However this does not explain why the standard calling works.  I repeat my 
challenge: are there any other TD methods with this property (standard 
calling true but no 6 mutually true courses).
