Problem
Let be the midpoints of the sides , respectively, of an acute triangle with orthocenter and circumcenter . The rays cut the circumcircle at the points , respectively. Show that and are collinear where is the orthocenter of .

Solution
Since is the orthocenter, . As is the midpoint of , this is possible only if is a parallelogram. Then , and is a diameter of the circumcircle of . Therefore, the reflection across takes to , and takes to . In particular, is the midpoint of .
