IMO 1962 Problem 3

  • Day 1

Consider the cube ABCDA′B′C′D′ABCDA'B'C'D' ( ABCDABCD and A′B′C′D′A'B'C'D' are the upper and lower bases, repsectively, and edges AA′,BB′,CC′,DD′AA', BB', CC', DD' are parallel). The point XX moves at a constant speed along the perimeter of the square ABCDABCD in the direction ABCDAABCDA , and the point YY moves at the same rate along the perimiter of the square B′C′CBB'C'CB in the direction B′C′CBB′B'C'CBB' . Points XX and YY begin their motion at the same instant from the starting positions AA and B′B' , respectively. Determine and draw the locus of the midpionts of the segments XYXY .
