magic circles (Definition)

Given $ n$ circles which intersect $ k$ times, the set of circles is referred to as magic circles if there exists a numbering (using $ \{1,\ldots,k\}$) of the intersections of the $ n$ circles such that the sum of the numbers at the intersections along each circle is the same constant for all circles.
