Yin Yang construction

What is the fastest and best way to construct a yin-yang symbol? I keep running into double layered strokes that make a certain section more bold than the others. Or, after deleting the necessary strokes out of the inner circles, the fills won't work right. Any thoughts?
 
This is by no means probably the simplest way but heres how i'd go about it:

Create the outer circle and two inner circles with just thin outlines.

Use the scissors to cut away the unwanted sections from the inner circles, and then cut the outer circle on each side where the inner circle meets.

Join the two inner lines together, and then join the 'S' shape to the ends of one half of the outer circle.

You can now fill this shape as the black half, and simply position the other half of the outer circle as to form the white half.

Hope this helps! :) Nick (Web Designer)
