Isosceles triangles A3A1O2A_3A_1O_2 and A1A2O3A_1A_2O_3 are constructed on the sides of a triangle A1A2A3A_1A_2A_3 as the bases, outside the triangle. Let O1O_1 be a point outside ΔA1A2A3\Delta A_1A_2A_3 such that O1A3A2=12A1O3A2\angle O_1A_3A_2 =\frac 12\angle A_1O_3A_2 and O1A2A3=12A1O2A3\angle O_1A_2A_3 =\frac 12\angle A_1O_2A_3. Prove that A1O1O2O3A_1O_1\perp O_2O_3, and if TT is the projection of O1O_1 onto A2A3A_2A_3, then A1O1O2O3=2O1TA2A3\frac{A_1O_1}{O_2O_3} = 2\frac{O_1T}{A_2A_3}.

Call two circles in three-dimensional space pairwise tangent at a point P P if they both pass through P P and lines tangent to each circle at P P coincide. Three circles not all lying in a plane are pairwise tangent at three distinct points. Prove that there exists a sphere which passes through the three circles.
