Thanks for your help Scientific601. So A turns once, and B turns 0.5. C turns x 2 of B which is 1 turn. C turns once, so D turns once. If D turns once, then E turns x 4, so turns 4 times. If E turns 4 times, then F turns x 8. If F turns 8 then G turns 4 times. So B is the answer as it turns only...

Again how do you get from 1/2 B to 2 at C . I can only see it as 1 at C. It is half the size of the Blue wheel in B which has turned Half so thus its rotation is double that which is 1. The yellow C pulley which attached to the outer red should also then only turn once no ?

I work logically so starting at A seems a good a place as any. If A turns once, then B turns half. If B turns half, then C should turn once or is it twice ? and can you explain to me which is correct and how you worked it out, then I can go from there thanks .

Guys. I have been staring at this for 4 hours so maybe you would like to talk me through the first 4 - 5 steps starting from A please

Nope Just do not see it I am afraid. If A turns once and B turns 1/2 then surely C should turn once again - how do you make it 2 ?

The correct answer is B as you can see on the diagram. I get to start at A - Let's say it turns once, which caused B to turn half. If B is attached to the Blue B behind then that turns a quarter yes. which turns C red pulley half, and C Yellow pulley will turn once and if you go on like that G...
