Suppose l(M,XYZ)l(M, XYZ) is a Simson line of the triangle XYZXYZ that passes through MM.
Suppose ABCDEFABCDEF is a cyclic hexagon such that l(A,BDF),l(B,ACE),l(D,ABF),l(E,ABC)l(A, BDF), l(B, ACE), l(D, ABF), l(E, ABC) intersect at a single point. Prove that CDEFCDEF is a rectangle.
Should the first sentence read: Suppose l(M,XYZ)l(M, XYZ) is a Simson line of the triangle XYZXYZ with respect to MM. ? Since it appears weird that a Simson line that passes a point is to be constructed. However, this is Unsolved after all, so I'm not sure.

The cross of a convex nn-gon is the quadratic mean of the lengths between the possible pairs of vertices. For example, the cross of a 3×43 \times 4 rectangle is 32+32+42+42+52+526=536\sqrt{ \dfrac{3^2 + 3^2 + 4^2 + 4^2 + 5^2 + 5^2}{6} } = \dfrac{5}{3} \sqrt{6}.
