Pure math is reasoning
What do you know about math?  if you know how to solve a key by using pure math,  then this is for you if you know things.
We have 4 points and 4 scalar, 3 points are unknown but they do relate to all 4 scalar keys. Can you point out a hint as to how we can solve any of the 3 points?

Here are our 3 points
Code:
P1=
03f4bef7834ec36e40f1c007a4c27c2f7d2ded709fda3333fdd5801625736ed152
P2=
03389523df912b20e7f5b2223f50a3e074551d3859487701d9e6297b950c9a78ea
P3=
032b0d9abd02f210631ca0fdf138a19c6725f6b67f2dba6c22bf181c73e81abd08
Here are 4 scalar
Code:
A1=
0x1c16e0f93f27c98dfa5
A2=
0x3f6feeff01e9e8d265
A3=
0x181fe2094f092b00d40
A4=
0x200ddfe92f46681b20a
P1+P2= A4, P2-P1= P3, P3-A4= P2*2, P1-A4/2= P3/2.
Here is the trick, A1, A2 and A3 point to different public keys,  however if we subtract A1-1 from P1, subtract A2-1 from P2 and add the results,  we would get 2, which means P1 and P2 are close they are also close to P3 because half of A4 subtracted from P1 equals half of P3.  This is pure math,  but how can we solve any of the 3 points while we only have A4 and why A1, A2 and A3 behave similar to our 3 points?  They are in close range with each other but where are they exactly?
