Soddy circles! Take three touching circles and find a center circle that touches
all three primary ones on the /inside/; that's called the incircle (blue). Now
find one that touches all three on the /outside/. That's the circumcircle
(yellow). I didn't care about all this until I wanted to render an Apallonian
gasket...
