6 or a half-dozen.  If a circle can be created using 3 points, then the three
points can be called a circle - if qualified in engineering terms.  You don't
need to create three seperate lines to create a shape from the points, a single
curved line can be sufficient.  Similar to how a surface can be described as a
surface and vice-versa...

It's all a matter of symantics, I supposed.  Especially swince we're both
trying to apply engineering terms to a sociological situation.  I don't think
there is a right or wrong answer...
