IMO 1979 Problem 3

  • Day 1

Two circles in a plane intersect. AA is one of the points of intersection. Starting simultaneously from AA two points move with constant speed, each travelling along its own circle in the same sense. The two points return to AA simultaneously after one revolution. Prove that there is a fixed point PP in the plane such that the two points are always equidistant from P.P.
