Abstract
- The 16-year old Blaise Pascal found an incidence relation that holds when six points lie on a conic. A century later, Braikenridge and Maclaurin extended Pascal's result to a straightedge construction that characterizes when six points lie on a conic. Nearly 400 years later, we develop a straightedge construction to check whether ten points lie on a cubic curve. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
