Two circular dials of exactly the same size are mounted on a wallside by side in such a way that their perimeters touch at one point. Dial 1, which is on the left, spins clockwise around its center, and dial 2, which is on the right, spins counterclockwise around its center. (Assume that there is no friction at the point of contact between the dials). Each dial is marked on its perimeter at three points that are at equal distances around the perimeter from each other. Going clockwise on each dial the points marked on dial 1 are N, O and P, and the points marked on dial 2 are X, Y and Z. If points P and X are just meeting at the point of contact between the dials, and if dial 2 spins at exactly double the speed of dial 1, which of the following pairs of points will be the next pair to meet at the point of contact?
