Let $A=(a^i_j)$ be an orthogonal matrix with no entries zero. Let $B=(b^i_j)$
be the matrix defined by $b^i_j=\frac 1{a^i_j}$. 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.
