I thought of that too but didn't say it because they you're _still_ using
something to draw a physical circle with -- you can still detect invisible
ink in some or another way...

That's the trick, isn't it? :) Maybe it's like that Japanese bow-shooting
someone mentioned som time ago -- if you go through the right mtions you
do it right no matter what (or at least you think you do :)

Is that so hard? Since you're symbolically drawing the circle, you can
also symbolically break it: cut the line with your foot, for instance.
