Let $n\ge 4$ be a positive integer and let $M$ be a set of $n$ points in the plane, where no three points are collinear and not all of the $n$ points being concyclic. Find all real functions $f:M\to\mathbb{R}$ such that for any circle $\mathcal{C}$ containing at least three points from $M$, the following equality holds: \[\sum_{P\in\mathcal{C}\cap M} f(P)=0\] Dorel Mihet
