Abstract
Given a sextuple of distinct points on a conic, arranged into an array , Pascal's theorem says that the points are collinear. The line containing them is called the Pascal of the array, and one gets altogether sixty such lines by permuting the points. In this paper we prove that the initial sextuple can be explicitly reconstructed from four specifically chosen Pascals. The reconstruction formulae are encoded by some transvectant identities which are proved using the graphical calculus for binary forms.
