Garcia's Archimedean Quadruplets
One of the properties of the arbelos noticed and proved by Archimedes in his Book of Lemmas is that the two small circles inscribed into two pieces of the arbelos cut off by the line perpendicular to the base through the common point of the two small semicircles are equal. The circles have been known as Archimedes' Twin Circles. More than 2200 years after Archimedes,L. Bankoff (1974) has found another circle equal to the twins. In 1999 a large number of additional circles of the same radius has been reported by Dodge et al. More recently,F. Power described another quadruplet of circles that should be adopted into the family (Taken from CTK). In this page I am adding more circles.

Reductio ad absurdum beautifuly used
Theorem:
Not all problems can be solved.
Proof:
Suppose all problems can be solved (1).
We consider following problem P:
“To find one problem which can not be solved”
Because all problems can be solved therefore we can not find this problem. It means problem P can not be solved. It contradict (1) therefore “not all problems can be solved”.
The theorem is proved.
