how many more grooves does a 12 inch record have than an 8 inch one.
for the more unknowledgeable people of the new millenium, a record is that huge black round thing that looks like a giant cd and that your parents probably still have in the attic somewhere

Records only have 1 groove. From start to finish. Although some records secretly put a second grove on the ablum which would then play a different song. I believe a Monty Python album did this once and confused the hell out of all those that brought it because it would play a different album each time you played the record. But generally there is one grove on each side of the record.

Well, it's not a third more as you might think because as the diameter gets larger the length of the grove increases. There must be a formula for it but I can't think of it at the moment...
An 8" record has one song but it plays at 45 RPM, One side of a typical 12" album has eight songs but it plays at 33.3 RPM... Hmmmm... 8 times more?

I think it will depend on the length of the song. I remember my records and some would have more of that ungrooved area towards the centre hole than others.
Good frisbees
