Hamsters

The two hamsters at home are a rather entertaining pair.

The smaller one would be on the wheel running happily, then the bigger one would come over and run in the opposite direction. The thing is, the smaller one was always unprepared for that so it ended up holding on to the wheel tightly while the big one ran. And what you see would be the small ball of fur clinging for its life on a point on the wheel. So it went round and round and round the wheel. It could go up to more than 10 rounds before the big one stops or it drops by itself.

One fine night I went home to see this:



The wheel toppled. Now how many rounds did the wheel turn?
