Given six points on a circle, , , , , , , show that the Pascal lines of the hexagrams , , are concurrent.

The lines and meet at , and the lines and meet at to determine the Pascal line of the hexagram ; similarly, the lines and meet at , and the lines and meet at to determine the Pascal line of the hexagram ; finally, the lines and meet at , and the lines and meet at to determine the Pascal line of the hexagram . By Desargues' theorem, the lines , , are concurrent if and only if the pairs of lines and , and , and meet at three collinear points. Since the latter lie on the Pascal line of the hexagram , the conclusion follows.
