context_page_description: In method ringing, a branch of change ringing, the ringing pattern known as plain hunt is the simplest method of generating continuously changing sequences, and is a fundamental building-block of method ringing.
context_section_description: The diagram on the right shows how plain hunt is used as a building-block in other ringing methods. 
  Bell number 1 is always plain hunting (shown in blue), and the other bells plain hunt but they change their pattern when bell number 1 is the first bell in the sequence. An example of one bell which is deviating from plain hunt is shown in red. 
  This variation on plain hunt means that up to 60 changes can be rung without repetition in this case. 
  There are thousands of ringing methods which incorporate blocks of plain hunt, and are only distinguished by different deviations at set points. These deviations define a particular ringing method in change ringing.
caption: 60 changes of the ringing method known as Plain Bob Minor. This has large blocks of plain hunting, and deviations from plain hunt only when bell no. 1 is the first.
