You have two coins of the same size and roll one around the other.
How many times does the rolling coin roll around its center?
Hint: It’s not one!
What if the coins were different sizes?

twice 🙂
I believe it is called Copernicus’ theorem, or some variation of it.
it’s 2 revolutions…..for diff size the ans will be r1/r2+1…..where r1 and r2 are radius of static and rotating circles respectively.
umm 2 i gess i am dumb lol 🙂 LOL ON ME HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHahahahahahahahhahshhhhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
First I think was Pi, but is impossible to do a GIF of that! 😆
This is pretty easy. Answer is 1.5
Because when the outer coin roles, it makes a bigger circle outside with diameter of 2*r1+r2 or 3*r1 if they are equal size. The circumference of bigger circle will be 2*pi*(3*r1/2) and for outer coin we have 2*pi*r1 . If we divide these two we get the answer which is 1.5
Zero!!! It is rolling around the OTHER coin’s center!! :]
Visually it seems one to me!
Mathematically it is very very very confusing.
Before I answer, does the coin have a milled or a plain edge Coin Terminology ? 😈 as this may affect the roll
