Notes¶
In 2008, Alexei Myakishev gave the following construction of a conic. Let CA and CB be points on the line AB satisfying |BCA| = |CB| and |ACB| = |CA| and arranged in this order: CA, B, A, and CB. Define points AB, CB, BC, AC cyclically. The six points CA, BA, AB, CB, BC, AC lie on a conic. Myakishev’s proof is by Carnot’s theorem, since
[c/(c+a)][(a+b)/b][a/(a+b)][(b+c)/c][b/(b+c)][(c+a)/a] = 1.

Peter Moses found that X3588 is the point of concurrence of three lines constructed from points numbered 1,3,4,6,8,9,10,11, as follows:
The six points Ca, Ba, Ab, Cb, Bc, Ac can be constructed from the extangents triangle as follows. Let A'B'C' be the extangents triangle. Then Ab = BC∩C'A', Ac = BC∩A'B', and Bc, Ba, Ca, Cb are defined cyclically. (Randy Hutson, January 29, 2018)
