Denote by $ M$ midpoint of side $ BC$ in an isosceles triangle $ \triangle ABC$ with $ AC = AB$. Take a point $ X$ on a smaller arc $ \overarc{MA}$ of circumcircle of triangle $ \triangle ABM$. Denote by $ T$ point inside of angle $ BMA$ such that $ \angle TMX = 90$ and $ TX = BX$. Prove that $ \angle MTB - \angle CTM$ does not depend on choice of $ X$. Author: Farzan Barekat, Canada
