Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle. Suppose the points $A',B',C'$ lie on its sides $BC,AC,AB$ respectively and the segments $AA',BB',CC'$ intersect in a common point $P$ inside the triangle. For each of those segments let us consider the circle such that the segment is its diameter, and the chord of this circle that contains the point $P$ and is perpendicular to this diameter. All three these chords occurred to have the same length. Prove that $P$ is the orthocenter of the triangle $ABC$. (Grigory Galperin)
