Illustration of Haruki's Theorem:
s1s2s3s4s5s6=1

Haruki's Theorem says that given three intersecting circles that only intersect each other at two points that the lines connecting the inner intersecting points to the outer satisfy:

s1s3s5=s2s4s6

where s1,s2,s3,s4,s5,s6 are the measure of segments connecting the inner and outer intersection points.[1][2][3][4]

The theorem is named after the Japanese mathematician Hiroshi Haruki.
