If you imagine a fourth dot there to make a rectangle, you can imagine a dot at the center of the rectangle. That dot is the center of a circle that intersects the three dots.
I guess another solution would be to make a circle that goes beyond the edge of the screen and wraps around, but I don’t know if you’ll allow that.
For the extra credit, you could just draw a really thick line through all three dots, but again, I don’t know if you’ll allow that.
