Given three disjoint circles A, B and C of unequal radii situated entirely in each other's exterior, the common internal tangents of circles A and C meet in Y, the common internal tangents of circles A and B meet in Z and the common external tangents of circles B and C meet in X. Then the points X, Y and Z are collinear.
