Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be a triangle, and DD, EE, FF points on the segments BCBC, CACA, and ABAB respectively such that BDDC=CEEA=AFFB. \frac{BD}{DC} = \frac{CE}{EA} = \frac{AF}{FB}. Show that if the centres of the circumscribed circles of the triangles DEFDEF and ABCABC coincide, then ABCABC is an equilateral triangle.
