The Problem: 4 bells can be rung in several different orders - each sequence called a 'peal' . Calling the bells A, B, C, and D, we have peals like : ABCD, ACDB, CADB etc. 'Ringing the changes' involves changing the order of the bells in a peal by a single 'swap' or 'exchange' of adjacent bells - for example A B C D could become B A C D , using a Left exchange, or A C B D , using a Middle exchange, or, finally, A B D C , using a Right exchange . The problem is to work your way through all the different peals, once and once only, using only L, M or R exchanges, and finishing up back at A B C D . Open the File as a Word Document
