Default 2 point question

You would start with the outer circle going east then go closer to the
pole moving south...
If the inner circle has an arc of 180 degrees plus the arc of the
outer circle, then the end-point should be opposite the start-point,
and the distance over the pole would be 2 x length of legs plus
diameter of inner circle: more than 28 nm in at 1 knot and
more than 168 nm at 6 knot.

How?
