The secret to this challenge is to realize that what we're given are points on a circle,
with the offset on the x axis being the key and the offset on the y axis is the iv.
The solution is found by Googling "find circle with 3 points" and copy-pasing the equations from a random website.

A = x1*(y2 - y3) - y1*(x2 - x3) + x2*y3 - x3*y2
B = (x1**2 + y1**2)*(y3 - y2) + (x2**2 + y2**2)*(y1 - y3) + (x3**2 + y3**2)*(y2 - y1)
C = (x1**2 + y1**2)*(x2 - x3) + (x2**2 + y2**2)*(x3 - x1) + (x3**2 + y3**2)*(x1 - x2)
D = (x1**2 + y1**2)*(x3*y2 - x2*y3) + (x2**2 + y2**2)*(x1*y3 - x3*y1) + (x3**2 + y3**2)*(x2*y1 - x1*y2)

# The center of the circle is the key and iv
keynum = int(round(-B/(2*A)))
ivnum = int(round(-C/(2*A)))

key = int.to_bytes(keynum, 16, "big")
iv = int.to_bytes(ivnum, 16, "big")

enc = cipher.decrypt(bytes.fromhex(ct))
print(enc)
