"The geometry of crop circles is really very simple. Once you learn how to make a simple circle, semi-circles, complex curves, arcs and spirals are simply a hop, skip and a jump beyond. Learn how to make a triangle and you can promote yourself to rectangles, pentagons, hexagons and octogons. Put 'em all together and you have a pretty nifty looking doily. It really isn't very hard."

Since it is not very hard for you to construct such circles in the field, could you take one of these pictures that are on the site and superimpose the stake points and estimate the length of the string that needed to be used. Also please estimate the time required to complete such a work of art.

I find this one interesting, how was it done?
