[r-t] A ringing puzzle

[Philip Earis]

To quote Don Morrison from his recent message to the change-ringers mailing list:

"Inspired by the upcoming Central Council meeting I've posted a little puzzle on my web site. I would be interested in others' views.

Don and others have made some sensible arguments in the RW in recent weeks. I'm not sure of the benefits of going over this well-trodden ground on here again.  You can't argue with true believers (or ayatollahs). 

Perhaps we can find a CC member to propose an amendment to call these dangerous assemblies of non-complaint changes "anti-method blocks" or maybe "satanic blocks" to liven up the old stiffs' debate a bit?  

Personally, I'm finding the irony of the so-called "Methods Committee" trying to expand their jurisdiction by writing rules on "non-method" blocks rather delicious. It feels like we're not too far from the whole edifice collapsing under its own contradictions, disappearing in a puff of non-logic.
