Popis: Over the complex numbers, there are 92 plane conics meeting 8 general lines in projective 3-space. Using the Euler class and local degree from motivic homotopy theory, we give an enriched version of this result over any perfect field. This provides a weighted count of the number of plane conics meeting 8 general lines, where the weight of each conic is determined the geometry of its intersections with the 8 given lines. As a corollary, real conics meeting 8 general lines come in two families of equal size.
