(proposed by B. Ganbileg and U. Batzorig)

problem
Solution
Let and be circumcentres of and respectively. Then first, we shall prove that is parallelogram. Denote by ; and ; is parallelogram. So it is sufficient to show that Indeed, from (1) and .



Denote by ; respectively. Then

and after same computing we can see .
