AUSTRIAN-POLISH 2003 Problem 3

    ABCABC is a triangle. Take a=BCa = BC etc as usual. Take points T1,T2T_1, T_2 on the side ABAB so that AT1=T1T2=T2BAT_1 = T_1T_2 = T_2B . Similarly, take points T3,T4T_3, T_4 on the side BC so that BT3=T3T4=T4CBT_3 = T_3T_4 = T_4C , and points T5,T6T_5, T_6 on the side CACA so that CT5=T5T6=T6ACT_5 = T_5T_6 = T_6A . Show that if a′=BT5,b′=CT1,c′=AT3a' = BT_5, b' = CT_1, c'=AT_3 , then there is a triangle A′B′C′A'B'C' with sides a′,b′,c′a', b', c' ( a′=B′Ca' = B'C ' etc). In the same way we take points Ti′T_i' on the sides of A′B′C′A'B'C' and put a′′=B′T6′,b′′=C′T2′,c′′=A′T4′a'' = B'T_6', b'' = C'T_2', c'' = A'T_4' . Show that there is a triangle A′′B′′C′′A'' B'' C'' with sides a′′b′′,c′′a'' b'' , c'' and that it is similar to ABCABC . Find a′′/aa'' /a .
