Thank you! I'm having a lot of fun with these—it's really difficult to think in circles rather than lines, since you sorta have to come at every problem sideways. I'm slowly gaining some intuition for the problem.
I think the biggest trick to following along on paper is to work out, arithmetically, the radius of each circle drawn. Shapes always have a characteristic number associated with them, and once you've managed to work out the numbers involved, it gets a lot easier to follow: √3's make hexagons, √2's make squares, ϕ's or 1/ϕ's make pentagons...
And thank you also for the well wishes! I'm still sick, but I've at least been learning a lot...
