A circle will be called point-splitting if it has 3 points of S on its circumference, n-1 points in its interior and n-1 in its exterior. We show the surprising property that S always has exactly n^2 point- splitting circles, and prove a more general result.12 pages, 4 figuresCombinatorics52C99, 05A99The number of point-splitting circlestext
