RO-NMO 2008 Problem 84

  • Grade 8

Let ABCDA′B′C′D′ABCDA'B'C'D' be a cube. On the sides (A′D′)(A'D') , (A′B′)(A'B') and (A′A)(A'A) we consider the points M1M_1 , N1N_1 and P1P_1 respectively. On the sides (CB)(CB) , (CD)(CD) and (CC′)(CC') we consider the points M2M_2 , N2N_2 and P2P_2 respectively. Let d1d_1 be the distance between the lines M1N1M_1N_1 and M2N2M_2N_2 , d2d_2 be the distance between the lines N1P1N_1P_1 and N2P2N_2P_2 , and d3d_3 be the distance between the lines P1M1P_1M_1 and P2M2P_2M_2 . Suppose that the distances d1d_1 , d2d_2 and d3d_3 are pairwise distinct. Prove that the lines M1M2M_1M_2 , N1N2N_1N_2 and P1P2P_1P_2 are concurrent.
