Problem 2, 2011

NationalProof

Let \(H\) and \(O\) be the orthocentre and the circumcentre of a triangle \(ABC\) with \(AB \neq AC\). The lines \(AH\) and \(AO\) meet the circumcircle of \(ABC\) a second time at \(M\) and \(N\) respectively. Let

\[ P = BC \cap HN, \qquad Q = BC \cap OM, \qquad R = HQ \cap OP . \]

Prove that the quadrilateral \(AORH\) is a parallelogram.
