Problem
Let be an acute triangle such that . Let be the orthocentre of that triangle, the foot of the altitude from , and the midpoint of the side . The circumcircles of the triangles and intersect in and . Prove that the points and lie on the same circle.

Solution
Denote . Since is a right-angled triangle and is the midpoint of its hypotenuse, we have . On the other hand, Hence , so the quadrilateral is cyclic.
