Somehow non-obvious to me: The six points, consisting of two arbitrary points and their tangency points to a given conic, will always lie on a conic.

Our #SIGGRAPH 2022 paper: Covector Fluids. With a simple modification of the advection step, a fluid solver respects the Kelvin circulation law and displays richer vortical structures. youtu.be/jM1FNiVYofI

For each corner of any triangle, pick an arbitrary angle and draw two rays, each apart from the adjacent edges by that angle. Then we will get a hexagon whose opposite diagonals are concurrent.

Consider a vertical and a horizontal parabolas sharing the same vertex. The tangents at their intersection will meet the contact points of their common tangent!

Do you know how to come up with this vector identity about cofactor matrix and cross product? (Check out our course on #ExteriorCalculusInGraphics)

There are only at most 26^60 integers that can be defined in under sixty letters. Therefore there must exist "the smallest positive integer not definable in under sixty letters" (which is a phrase with 57 letters).
