There are not too many Magic Configurations

A finite planar point set P is called a magic configuration if there is an assignment of positive weights to the points of P such that, for every line l determined by P, the sum of the weights of all points of P on l equals 1. We prove a conjecture of Murty from 1971 and show that a magic configuration consists either of points in general position, or all points are collinear, with the possible exception of one point, or they form a special configuration of 7 points
