Let us suppose that a man's left foot takes a step 20 inches long and that his fight foot takes a step 30 inches long. Now suppose he takes ten steps -- five with his left foot and five with his fight foot. His left foot will travel 100 inches. His fight foot will travel 150 inches. This sounds impossible. One foot cannot remain 50 inches behind the other. What really happens? At each step the man turns a little bit to the left. Sooner or later he makes a complete circle. The tracks of his feet, however, make two circles, one inside the other. His left foot makes the smaller circle because it is taking smaller steps. His fight foot makes the larger circle because it takes larger steps. This is why a person walks in circles when he sets out in a straight line. Thus dear readers, our circular mystery has a very straight answer.
