Problem 3

  • Day 1

Let A1C2B1A2C1B2A_1C_2B_1A_2C_1B_2 be an equilateral hexagon. Let O1O_1 and H1H_1 denote the circumcenter and orthocenter of △A1B1C1\triangle A_1B_1C_1 , and let O2O_2 and H2H_2 denote the circumcenter and orthocenter of △A2B2C2\triangle A_2B_2C_2 . Suppose that O1≠O2O_1 \ne O_2 and H1≠H2H_1 \ne H_2 . Prove that the lines O1O2O_1O_2 and H1H2H_1H_2 are either parallel or coincide.
