Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be a triangle. PP, QQ and RR are the points of contact of the incircle with sides ABAB, BCBC and CACA, respectively. Let LL, MM and NN be the feet of the altitudes of the triangle PQRPQR from RR, PP and QQ, respectively. a) Show that the lines ANAN, BLBL and CMCM meet at a point. b) Prove that this points belongs to the line joining the orthocenter and the circumcenter of triangle PQRPQR.
