Five circles theorem
From HandWiki
Short description: Derives a pentagram from five chained circles centered on a common sixth circle
In geometry, the five circles theorem states that, given five circles centered on a common sixth circle and intersecting each other chainwise on the same circle, the lines joining their second intersection points forms a pentagram whose points lie on the circles themselves.
