Yes, but there were 14 5-bell runs and 2 6-bell runs IN ADDITION to the 25 4-bell runs in Muppet Show, totalling 41 (this includes runs that include the treble)<BR>
<BR>
I'd come to the same conclusion about the -36 start and had been playing around with it this morning.<BR>
The unrung Surprise method -36-4-2.56.3.4-234.5-56.34.1 scores 48 4-bell runs in the same course (4 of each in each direction, front & back), but no runs of 5 or more.<BR>

Starting -36 or 36- throws you into <BR>> this position straight away hence why Superlative does rather well, <BR>> ofcourse being a double method the runs get mapped to front too.<BR>> An interesting question is what is the maximum amount of this position <BR>> that can be achieved in a "normal" (ie treble dodges once in each <BR>> position, no more than 2 blows in 1 place, regular, but don't care about <BR>> 7-8's in pn or single changes) treble doding major method. A course of <BR>> 45362 (course head that is, 65432 in terms of C.O) of such a method will <BR>> probably achieve more 4-bell runs in a course than is possible in a <BR>> single course of any other regular method.<BR>> Cheers,<BR>> Alan<BR><br /><hr />Beyond Hotmail — see what else you can do with Windows Live. <a href='http://clk.atdmt.com/UKM/go/134665375/direct/01/' target='_new'>Find out more!</a></body>
