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
.
