As you move outward from the center of a wheel, the distance to go around it (circumference of the circle) becomes larger. Since the wheel is a solid object, the outside must complete the same number of revolutions per minute as the the inside, at the center or axle (360 degrees, 2pi radians). Since it has a much longer distance to travel, the outside must move at a higher speed.
The same principle applies to spheres (3 dimensional circles): because the Earth is a single object rotating around its axis, the surface at the equator is moving at more than 1000 mph to the east, while the poles spin in place without moving.

Yes! If It spins one time, then that is the circumference. Therefore if you spin it a second time, that doubles it!
Call it 40,000, you'll be near enough for Wiki... The metre is defined as one-forty-millionth of the polar circumference, it's a little higher at the equator because of the spin...
The revolutions per minute of a bike wheel depends on the size of the wheel, the speed you are riding, and other factors. It is generally thought it can spin at 2 revolutions per second.
The size of the planet doesn't have an effect on how fast a planet spins, therefore the speed to spin is random or has some other factor.
Prob(at least one Blue if you spin it 5 times) = 1 - Prob(No Blue in 5 spins) = 1 - (3/4)5 = 1 - 243/1024 = 781/1024 = 0.7627 approx.
