[r-t] Naremburn Treble Bob

Interesting.  If quarter-lead calls are necessary for the extent, it's not 
very surprising that it hasn't been rung before.

I'm guessing an extent with only lead-end calls is not possible, although 
this does not seem immediately obvious.

What TD minor methods are possible that admit an extent using lead-end 
calls, but which are either asymmetric or violate the "usual parity rule" 
(or both)?  There are lots that are simply lead-splicers with 
symmetric methods not violating the rule.  But if we remove these then I 
don't know of many examples.

One example I've talked about before is derived from two leads of Auryn 
Differential: 34-34.1-25-1-34-1.34-34.1-25-1-34-4.  This is particularly 
remarkable because the _standard calling_ (the equivalent of WHW) gives a 
720.  (I believe Richard Smith claimed to have found some other methods 
like this, but I haven't seen them).

If we restrict to in-course lead heads, there is a very fast algorithm for 
determining whether a given method has a set of leads giving the 
extent, as mentioned here:
http://bellringers.net/pipermail/ringing-theory_bellringers.net/2012-January/004090.html
So it would be easy enough to generate a list of all methods with that 
property.  However, I don't know a good way to check if out-of-course lead 
heads are allowed, and there seems no particular reason why such extents 
might not be possible for some methods.
