Elliptical geometry

From AoPSWiki

Elliptical geometry is a term used to refer to geometries in which there are no parallel lines. One possible representation of elliptical geometry is on a sphere. This is because the closest analogue to lines on a sphere is a great circle, and any two great circles on a sphere must intersect.
