Smaller Circular Boards

Here are four tours on the smallest circular boards, with at least 12 fixed corners on the circle. These show boards with radii 5, root-50, root-65, root-85 corresponding to the smallest double-pattern fixed-distance leapers. The first three tours show 90 degree rotational symmetry but the fourth only has 180 degree rotation, due to the quarter-board containing an even number of cells (64). 

Radius 5

Radius root-50

Radius root-65

Radius root-85

There are 17 other two-pattern fixed-distance leapers to consider before the first three-pattern leaper of this type (root 325) is encountered, as used in the large tour previously shown. I doubt if I will get round to constructing examples of all of these! 

There is a certain arbitrariness concerning which cells, whose corners go beyond the circle, should be included or not.
