Problem
Let be a triangle with , , as the midpoints of , , respectively. The circle of center with sufficiently large radius cuts at , . Define circles , with , , , similarly. Suppose that these circles have the same radius. Prove that , , , , , are concyclic.

Solution
Let be the orthocenter of . Since and , then . Similarly, and .
Denote as the radius of the three circles , , . As , , we have In addition, , so From that . Similarly, and .
From (1) and (2), the orthocenter is indeed the center of the circle which goes through the six points , , , , , .
