sequences...
7, (+10) 17, (+14) 31, (+18) 49, (+22) 71, (+26) 97,
(1^2) 1, (2^2) 4, (3^2) 9, (4^2) 16, (5^2) 25, (6^2) 36, 

From approximating at each stage, it looks like it's approaching 4
I didn't do enough maths to see a better way of writing the top sequence
so that I could have a go at maybe simplifying the whole sequence (at
least, not at this time of night:) 

I'm not an expert, by any stretch of the imagination, but here's my
attempt to stay on-topic:

Hmmm, I think it looks more like a llama... sorry.

btw, Christchurch Cathedral has very nice bells, and some very nice
bell-ringers (although most bell-ringers I've met have been very nice -
especially those in ANZAB :) [Canterbury is the area that includes
Christchurch, isn't it? I wasn't in NZ for very long, so I'm not
sure...]
