The Challenge is to create the Yin & Yang symbol, using circles.

My design began with a 16cm circle. The next size down was 8cm and the last size is 2cm.
I finally included black edging of thickness 2mm.

Since I have created several dozen yin and yangs
This might not be exactly to your specs Acorn but this is my technique.
@Gary, the only difference I would have made was change the larger circle to Editable Shape and remove a node and make the top and bottom nodes Line and Cusp.
I would then have cloned and flipped to get another semi-circle.
To make it with circles only, I drew my large circle with a Linear Fill, Black and White and Profile (1, 0).

Here is my solution: Attachment 122466.
If you are puzzled by the "square" Yin & Yang, that one needs to be Previewed in a browser.
A small bit of CSS turns the squares into the required circles.
Why?
Two reasons.
First, it removes jaggies that bitmaps produce. Scale the browser to 500% or higher and compare top with bottom.
Second, only one image is generated and that is tiny. Download and rendering speeds are therefore quicker. I could have used code to generate the abrupt linear gradient but its coding is almost as bit as the small bitmap I chose instead.

Here are a few more. I must have done at least three dozen of these over the years.
That's clever stuff Acorn ;)

That really had me scratching me head until I saw Gary's solution - then it was so easy ;)
Gary really like your hidden pictures, especially the snowperson, which I actually found quite hard to get started but worth the effort.
