Let 2 distinct circles intersect at more than 2 points.
∴These points are non-collinear points.
As 3 non-collinear points determine one and only one circle,
∴There should be only one circle.
This contradicts our assumption. Therefore,
our assumption is wrong.
Hence, 2 circles can't intersect each other at more than 2 points.
I hope this is enough?
