Both Peter and Wally deserve 5 points for taking this
silly question so far.

The terminology is not quite right, substitute inner circle with the
leg along the inner circle...
So it should be:

You would start with the leg along the outer circle going east then go
closer to the
pole moving south...
If the leg along the inner circle has an arc of 180 degrees plus the
arc of the
leg along 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.

On the south pole, even if you insist on going only 14 nm on
every
leg, you could reach the 28 nm that you mentioned in your
earlier
post, ...

How?
