Any three circles hide a straight line. Here's a demo that shows it.

I saw a video about Monge's theorem on Instagram and thought it would be fun to vibe code an interactive demo. 

Monge's theorem states that given any three circles, you can draw a line tangent to each pair. Those tangent lines will cross at a point. You will have three crossing points, and they will always lie on a single straight line.

There is a proof involved, but I haven't had time to understand it yet. It's just fun to play with this demonstration and marvel at the elegance of math.

More about math: Boing Boing has covered the hairy ball theorem, the 17-sided shape a mathematician wanted on his tombstone, and a game that draws patterns out of random dice rolls.
