"… we study the set C12 of conics that contain at least 6 points in P9.  One has

Theorem 1. The set C12 has cardinality 12. Each conic in C12 contains exactly
6 points in P9 and through each point in P9 there are 8 conics. The sets (P9, C12)
form therefore a (98, 126)-configuration.

The configuration (P9, C12) has interesting symmetries, e.g. there are 8 conics
among the 12 passing through a fixed point q in P9 and the 8 points in P9 \ {q},
which form a 85 point-conic configuration. The freeness of the arrangement of
curves C12 is studied in [19], where we learned that this configuration has been
also independently discovered in [11]."
