2 Rings

Alice from the Perse Senior School for Girls said:

I've done 4 combinations with red and blue separate, red touching the blue, red overlapping the blue and red inside the blue.

Here are the images which Alice sent:

red touching blue	red overlapping blue
red inside blue

Alyssa from Mason Middle School suggested:

You're right, Alyssa, you could. This would be quite difficult to draw, though, which is probably why you didn't send us an image! We would like to receive more ideas about how you could arrange two circles if you come up with some. Let us know!

Benjamin from Paradykes Primary School in Scotland sent in the following

To make the two rings touch grow one slightly bigger than the other and put the smaller one inside and touching the other ring. To make the two rings overlap then make them both same size crossing each other. For the last challenge, putting one ring outside the other you just simply make one tiny and one huge and put the tiny one inside the middle of the big one.
