Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be an acute-angled triangle with ABACAB\not= AC. Let Γ\Gamma be the circumcircle, HH the orthocentre and OO the centre of Γ\Gamma. MM is the midpoint of BCBC. The line AMAM meets Γ\Gamma again at NN and the circle with diameter AMAM crosses Γ\Gamma again at PP. Prove that the lines AP,BC,OHAP,BC,OH are concurrent if and only if AH=HNAH=HN.
