Oct 4 at 15:30 comment added Michael Ejercito A corrollary of Bartagar's proof is that only algebraic ratios can be constructed with neusis, and as such the circle can not be squared with neusis (which requires constructing the transcendetal ratio $\sqrt{\pi}$)
Oct 2 at 16:55 comment added Oscar Lanzi "If you draw this conchoid on a paper, such that one of the curves has a loop...". You don't really need the loop. Without it, you still have concavities that allow four points of intersection on one of the branches and thus six overall.
