A Short proof of Pascal's Hexagon Theorem
Some people, like
the editor of the Monthly, do not realize that, thanks to
Rene Descartes, Bruno Buchberger and compute algebra, all
theorems of Euclidean Geometry are routine, and they publish
new proofs. This paper, by S. B. Ekhad and Rene Descartes,
was written in response to such a paper. Of course, it was rejected
by the Monthly, who took advantage of the fact that neither
authors is a live human.
