Simply Circles

What is the maximum number of times that six circles of the same size could intersect? For example, draw two circles that are the same size. What's the greatest number of times they could intersect? Now what if you add another circle, and another, etc.? (Circles that lie on top of each other do not intersect - they're simply the same circle, so "infinity" isn't a valid answer.)


What if you've got 10 circles, what if you have any number of circles?


Make sure your explanation is thorough and would explain to another student how to solve the problem.  You may use a picture to support your solution - however a picture without an explaination about how it supports your solution will not be awarded any points.
