Problem
Let be a triangle inscribed in circle , with its altitudes , intersecting at orthocenter (, ). Let be the midpoint of , be the orthogonal projection of on . intersects at . Let be the intersection of the tangent to which passes through with , be the reflection of through . Prove that .

Solution
Let be the altitude of triangle , be the diameter of . meets at . Let be the reflection of through .
We have then quadrilateral is cyclic. Then From this we obtain is cyclic.
On the other side, and is the midpoint of then is a trapezoid with its midline . We get Hence is cyclic, which follows that are concyclic or lies on circle with diameter .
In other words, .
