A segment ABAB is given in (Euclidean) plane. Consider all triangles XYZXYZ such, that XX is an inner point of ABAB, triangles XBYXBY and XZAXZA are similar (in this order of vertices), and points A,B,Y,ZA, B, Y, Z lie on a circle in this order. Find the locus of midpoints of all such segments YZYZ.
