dc.descriptionNeumann-Lara and Urrutia showed in 1985 that in any set of n points in the plane in general positionthere is always a pair of points such that any circle through them contains at least (n-2)/60 points. In a series of papers, this result was subsequently improved till n/4.7, which is currently the best known lower bound. In this paper we propose a new approach to the problem that allows us, by using known results about j-facets of sets of points in $R^3$, to give a simple proof of a somehow stronger result: there is always a pair of points such that any circle through them has, both inside and outside, at least n/4.7 points.
