Problem Statement

An acute triangle ABCABC is inscribed in a circle of radius 1 with centre O;O; all the angles of ABCABC are greater than 45.45^\circ. B1B_{1} is the foot of perpendicular from BB to CO,CO, B2B_{2} is the foot of perpendicular from B1B_{1} to AC.AC. Similarly, C1C_{1} is the foot of perpendicular from CC to BO,BO, C2C_{2} is the foot of perpendicular from C1C_{1} to AB.AB. The lines B1B2B_{1}B_{2} and C1C2C_{1}C_{2} intersect at A3.A_{3}. The points B3B_{3} and C3C_{3} are defined in the same way. Find the circumradius of triangle A3B3C3.A_{3}B_{3}C_{3}.
