Re: MIA, Ask an Expert: circles like balllons

["Dr. Theresa Overall" <theresa.overall@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is such a classic Logo problem to solve. The learning that comes  
from solving it yourself constructively is phenomenal. Seymour would  
have you stand up and walk in a circle and analyze your motion. "You  
are the turtle. How would you describe your walking motion in steps  
and turns?" Then you'd write a procedure to duplicate what you were  
doing. Invariably, you'd get a circle or a piece of a circle and He  
would get very excited for you that you were on the way! Once you got  
a circle, you'd be on your way to the next learning opportunity of  
changing the size of the circle. It might take a while to figure out  
and there would be some frustration along the way, but oh, the joy  
that comes when you have that great "Aha!"

I hope you'll try to at least get started on your own and then ask  
specific questions about where you are and where you'd like to be. To  
just give you the procedure that I discovered for myself would be  
depriving you of the power.
