Computing angular speed wrt CM I get a contradiction

[QUOTE="arestes, post: 5890299, member: 190794"] Yes, It is in fact the angular momentum around the lower mass (at the origin). Then I compute the same angular momentum but viewed as a system, therefore (as a system) there's a moment of inertia and I understand that the angular momentum around any point (in particular, again around O) can be split into L (of the center of mass point) _(around the chosen point) + rotational L. I still get the right answer in the case of the point particles but something is wrong when I put forth the second example. [/QUOTE]
