H. Simpson [1] has proved a theorem about six points P1,…,P6 (no three in line, not all on a conic) of the real projective plane. He calls P1 an “in-point” or an “out-point”, according as it lies inside or outside the conic (denoted by a Roman figure I) through the other five points; and so on. The theorem is that there are either two, three, or six in-points.
