Let $ABC$ be a triangle, and let $\ell$ be the line through $A$ and perpendicular to the line $BC$. The reflection of $\ell$ in the line $AB$ crosses the line through $B$ and perpendicular to $AB$ at $P$. The reflection of $\ell$ in the line $AC$ crosses the line through $C$ and perpendicular to $AC$ at $Q$. Show that the line $PQ$ passes through the orthocenter of the triangle $ABC$. Flavian Georgescu
