Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be a non-equilateral triangle in the plane, and let TT be a point different from its vertices. Define ATA_T, BTB_T and CTC_T as the points where lines ATAT, BTBT, and CTCT meet the circumcircle of ABCABC. Prove that there are exactly two points PP and QQ in the plane for which the triangles APBPCPA_PB_PC_P and AQBQCQA_QB_QC_Q are equilateral. Prove furthermore that line PQPQ contains the circumcenter of ABC\triangle ABC.
