Let ABC be a triangle and let the incircle intersect [math]\displaystyle{ BC }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ CA }[/math], and [math]\displaystyle{ AB }[/math] at [math]\displaystyle{ A' }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ B' }[/math], and [math]\displaystyle{ C' }[/math], respectively.

Let the circumcircles of [math]\displaystyle{ AB'C' }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ A'BC' }[/math], and [math]\displaystyle{ A'B'C }[/math] intersect the circumcircle of [math]\displaystyle{ ABC }[/math] (apart from [math]\displaystyle{ A }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ B }[/math], and [math]\displaystyle{ C }[/math]) at [math]\displaystyle{ A'' }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ B'' }[/math], and [math]\displaystyle{ C'' }[/math], respectively.

Then [math]\displaystyle{ A'A'' }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ B'B'' }[/math], and [math]\displaystyle{ C'C'' }[/math] meet in one point, [math]\displaystyle{ P }[/math].
