Moment of clarity.

Would it happen to be Rampant Rabbit?

I got hung up on Volly-Ant thinking it was something volauvent.

Time for another riddle ...... a nice easy one (ish !!)

In the figure below, the radius of circle A is 2 units, the radius of circle B is 3 units.
Starting from the position shown in the figure, circle A rolls around circle B (circle B remains stationary).
At the end of how many revolutions of circle A, will the centre of circle A first reach its starting point?

One and a half? (I did put some effot in working it out but I suck at maths)

Invoke not reason. In the end it is too small a deity.

I am inclined to think it is 2.25 times on the basis of π4 in to π9 goes 2.25 times but I think I may be missing something...

4.5.

2.25 is getting there - the maths is along the right lines, but it goes round exactly twice that.

For equal sized circles, the moving one goes round twice.

[edit]
....and seeing as I *know* I'm right:

What beings with 'A' and can be used to look up skirt?
