IMO 1961 Problem 6

  • Day 2

Consider a plane ϵ\epsilon and three non-collinear points A,B,CA,B,C on the same side of ϵ\epsilon ; suppose the plane determined by these three points is not parallel to ϵ\epsilon . In plane ϵ\epsilon take three arbitrary points A′,B′,C′A',B',C' . Let L,M,NL,M,N be the midpoints of segments AA′,BB′,CC′AA', BB', CC' ; Let GG be the centroid of the triangle LMNLMN . (We will not consider positions of the points A′,B′,C′A', B', C' such that the points L,M,NL,M,N do not form a triangle.) What is the locus of point GG as A′,B′,C′A', B', C' range independently over the plane ϵ\epsilon ?
