Episode 031: Mark Davies on Methodokus

• Mark Davies is a ringer at Cheltenham Minster, of the Gloucester and Bristol Association. Mark is also a prolific peal composer and constructor of methods. See Rapid Wrap Major, Snow Tiger Maximus, or the “Mythical Beasts” project, for instance.
• While we discuss ringing for a bit, much of our conversation is about Methodokus: the style of ringing(-inspired) puzzles that Mark invented last year. If you have not seen them in Ringing World, a few can be found in an earlier post at treblesgoing.com, or you can find many in the book Methodoku Mayhem.
• Mark has also uploaded “Methodoku Masterclass” videos on his YouTube channel, if you would like more-directed advice on solving Methodokus. (You can also find there a video of his presentation to the North American Guild, which we mention during this discussion.)

Thank you, friends.
