Re: Gen Nav

We could consider a small circle to be made up of an infinitely large number of infinitely small points each touching the next. This means that a small circle can touch an infinite number of points.

If the question asked how many small circles can join two points the answer once again is an infinite number. All we need to do is select a slightly different radius for each circle.

If however the question asked at how many points a small circle can cross any given great circle then the answer is not more than 2
