Pascal's Mystic Hexagram Theorem Proof
Proposition
Let A, B, C, D, E, F be points on a circle and makes a hexagon out of them in an arbitrary order. Then the three points L, M, N at which pairs of opposite sides meet, lie on a straight line. This line is called the Pascal line of the hexagon ABCDEF.
