[r-t] Six bobs

[Alexander E Holroyd]

Can it be done?:

A 720 of spliced *regular* TD minor methods, with only 6 bobs; i.e. 6 
5-lead courses with a bob at the end of each one.

There are plenty of "plans", i.e. sequences of lead ends, that might 
work.  One can use a mixture of whole courses of 2nds and 6ths place 
methods, but that on its own is not enough.  Some of the courses also 
need to be non-round blocks, like a Parker Splice.  Unfortunately a 
Parker Splice itself does not seem to work.

If there were 3 regular methods that differ only at the half-leads (like 
Cambridge and Ipswich, but with a 3rd one), that would work.  But I 
don't think that can exist.  Is there something like this that works as 
a lead splice, or a course splice, or something?

As a proof of concept, here is one using some silly alliance and treble 
place methods.  Method B is false in the plain course, and can be 
replaced with Ipswich to give a 708. Can it be done for real?
