	 * Solves the Problem of Apollonius (finding a circle tangent to three other circles in the plane). The method uses
	 * approximately 68 heavy operations (multiplication, division, square-roots).

	 * @param c1
	 *            One of the circles in the problem
	 * @param c2
	 *            One of the circles in the problem
	 * @param c3
	 *            One of the circles in the problem
	 * @param s1
	 *            An indication if the solution should be externally or internally tangent (+1/-1) to c1
	 * @param s2
	 *            An indication if the solution should be externally or internally tangent (+1/-1) to c2
	 * @param s3
	 *            An indication if the solution should be externally or internally tangent (+1/-1) to c3
	 * @return The circle that is tangent to c1, c2 and c3.
