    Gear Rotation puzzle is confusing 50:10 GR but 6 rotations

    Is there a physics concept that in central to this phenomenon? I'll try looking that up and see if that helps me in my understanding?

    Gear Rotation puzzle is confusing 50:10 GR but 6 rotations

    To Orodruin's question, It's tricky, but my understanding as of now is that, any larger gear driving a smaller one,say 20 teeth gear driving a 10 teeth one would rotate exactly once, so a 40 teeth gear would rotate like 1/2 a rotation? and so on? If I'm right?

    The larger gear would have passed 10 of its 200000000000000 teeth in one rotation I would assume!

    Think, I see the point...Thank you!

    Gear Rotation puzzle is confusing 50:10 GR but 6 rotations

    Okay, I just tried the experiment with 2 one cent coins and found that thought there were no teeth to simulate it perfectly, the driver coin took almost exactly 2 rotations...

    So, Once 5+1? Hmm..kinda makes sense!

    Gear Rotation puzzle is confusing 50:10 GR but 6 rotations

    A gear A has 50 teeth and another B has 10 teeth, how many times does the small gear rotate around the big one? I thought 5 but its 6! Note: The gear is curved like 360 degrees.
