Abstract

Given an irreducible conic in PG(2, q) with q odd, how many points of another irreducible conic 𝒟 in PG(2, q) are external to ? It is not hard to find 𝒟 such that either all its points off are external to , or none of its points are. Apart from these cases, we prove that for q large enough, the number we seek differs from by at most .
