[qyeebklh] N great circles on a sphere

Draw N great circles on a sphere, maximizing the minimum segment between intersections.

Or, maximize the smallest intersection angle. Three or more circles may not intersect at the same point.

N=1, 2, and 3 are trivial.

Inspired by playing Go 囲碁 on a sphere.
