Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be a non isosceles triangle with circumcircle (O)(O) and incircle (I)(I). Denote (O1)(O_1) as the circle internal tangent to (O)(O) at A1A_1 and also tangent to segments AB,ACAB,AC at Ab,AcA_b,A_c respectively. Define the circles (O2),(O3)(O_2), (O_3) and the points B1,C1,Bc,Ba,Ca,CbB_1, C_1, B_c , B_a, C_a, C_b similarly. 1. Prove that AA1,BB1,CC1AA_1, BB_1, CC_1 are concurrent at the point MM and 33 points I,M,OI,M,O are collinear. 2. Prove that the circle (I)(I) is inscribed in the hexagon with 66 vertices Ab,Ac,Bc,Ba,Ca,CbA_b,A_c , B_c , B_a, C_a, C_b.
