This is what I aimed for since that is how a circle is defined in a cartesian equation: (x − a)^2 + (y − b)^2 = r^2 where a and b are the circle’s center point xy coordinates and r is radius.

But is a square more of a perfect circle than an off-center perfect circle?

Seems like this should derive the best center point of your circle, rather than mandating the dot.

But yes, we are overthinking it...
