And those solutions inside the circle have a coefficient of restitution less than one, and those outside the circle a coefficient of restitution larger than one (if possible). That was a very insightful observation @Blue. Good job.

Nov 23, 2020 at 15:11 comment added Blue @John Alexiou I looked to your answer in the post you recommend. I have a question. In point 2 you say to draw a circle in the momentum plane and you say that momentum is conserved if the two final vectors are diagonals in this circle. I understand that. But there are solution that conserve total momentum with both vectors outside the circle. Why are those solutions not important? Thanks.
