Problem
In triangle let are the midpoints of the sides , respectively, and are the midpoints (by length) of the broken lines , respectively. Prove that the lines are concurrent.

Solution
W.l.o.g. assume that . Then belongs to the segment , moreover, it lies between and . Then notice that i.e. since . So, is bisector of the angle .
Similarly, is bisector of and is bisector of . So the lines and intersect in the incenter of the triangle .
