ELMO 2019 Problem 4

    Carl is given three distinct non-parallel lines ℓ1,ℓ2,ℓ3\ell_1, \ell_2, \ell_3 and a circle ω\omega in the plane. In addition to a normal straightedge, Carl has a special straightedge which, given a line ℓ\ell and a point PP , constructs a new line passing through PP parallel to ℓ\ell . (Carl does not have a compass.) Show that Carl can construct a triangle with circumcircle ω\omega whose sides are parallel to ℓ1,ℓ2,ℓ3\ell_1,\ell_2,\ell_3 in some order.
