      Hey MOZ fans,

      I have a exciting question for you today.

      http://i.imgur.com/dl0r9s1.png
      I try to visualize but let me explain too.

      In the pagerank algorithm, as you know the pagerank flows to the links **no matter they are internal or external. **And the link juice that pass can be found by pagerank of the site, times %85 divided by total outlinks ( no matter they are nofollow attribitu or not.) 
      Everything is okay here now. But what would be if it would be in the as image below.

      Does it also become a loop and, each of the page makes their pagerank 10?

      Thanks for your help.

        I would say a loop doesn't work, or just about every site would be a pr 10 site.

          The math doesn't work out here either, because each page is only assigned an extremely tiny amount of PR initially, and the damping factor will make it such that you're only passing some lesser quantity to the linked page. That, combined with the fact that PageRank's iterations end after a certain number of runs (at one point, I think it was ~10 iterations), and you'll see that looping PR like you've shown doesn't work out.
