Napoleon's problem is a compass construction problem. In it, a circle and its center are given. The challenge is to divide the circle into four equal arcs using only a compass. Napoleon was known to be an amateur mathematician, but it is not known if he either created or solved the problem. Napoleon's friend the Italian mathematician Lorenzo Mascheroni introduced the limitation of using only a compass (no straight edge) into geometric constructions. But actually, the challenge above is easier than the real Napoleon's problem, consisting in finding the center of a given circle with compass alone. The following sections will describe solutions to three problems and proofs that they work. Georg Mohr's 1672 book "Euclides Danicus" anticipated Mascheroni's idea, though the book was only rediscovered in 1928. (Wikipedia).

An Unusual Way to Prove Napoleon's Theorem
There are many videos on the internet about Napoleon's Theorem, but this one explains it the MathyJaphy way, which I like to think is unique. A viewer asked whether a vector-based proof, similar to the one seen in my video on Van Aubel's Theorem, existed for Napoleon's. They're very simi
