Abstract: Let

A = (a_{j}^{i})

be an orthogonal matrix with no entries zero. Let

B = (b_{j}^{i})

be the matrix defined by

b_{j}^{i} = f r a c 1 a_{j}^{i}

. M. Kontsevich conjectured that the rank of

B

is never equal to three. We interpret this conjecture geometrically and prove it. The geometric statment can be understood as a generalization of the Castelnouvo lemma and Brianchon's theorem.
