Here's a Friday teaser - suppose we're looking at methods on N bells.  If
I just write down random pieces of valid place notation, and look at the
method that is the outcome of these ordered bits of pn, when do I expect
it to come round? (Ignoring issues of falseness, of course, unless you're
very lucky!)

I'm off for a walk, hopefully not so random, as the canal is pretty close
to my house!
