How many lines\nintersect four given lines in 3-space? These are classical questions\nin enumerative geometry\, a field at least as old as Apolloniu s of\nPerga\, to whom the question about tangent circles is attributed in the\nthird century BCE.  It is not hard to see that the answers to these\ nquestions may depend on the choice of circles\, surface\, or lines\,\nre spectively. It is harder to see that\, in each case\, there is a\n\"typica l\" answer. \n DTSTAMP:20250516T170018Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
