Does the hunter go around the squirrel? Vote and then move on already.

It's geometry. Not fairies and semantics. Geometry. And it has nothing to do with the squirrel's ass.

I've got to disagree. It really does depend on what you mean by go around. The hunter makes a circle. The squirrel never leaves the circle. Whether they're facing each other is irrelevant. The fact that the squirrel is on the tree is irrelevant.

Forget the tree for the moment. Assume that the squirrel is sitting at the center of the circle. He rotates as the hunter makes his circle, so he's always facing the hunter. Did the hunter go around the squirrel in this case?
