OBM 1983 Problem 2

    An equilateral triangle ABCABC has side a. A square is constructed on the outside of each side of the triangle. A right regular pyramid with sloping side aa is placed on each square. These pyramids are rotated about the sides of the triangle so that the apex of each pyramid comes to a common point above the triangle. Show that when this has been done, the other vertices of the bases of the pyramids (apart from the vertices of the triangle) form a regular hexagon.
