Let $ABC$ be a triangle, let $O$ be its circumcenter, and let $H$ be its orthocenter. Let $P$ be a point on the segment $OH$. Prove that $6r\leq PA+PB+PC\leq 3R$, where $r$ is the inradius and $R$ the circumradius of triangle $ABC$. [b]Moderator edit:[/b] This is true only if the point $P$ lies inside the triangle $ABC$. (Of course, this is always fulfilled if triangle $ABC$ is acute-angled, since in this case the segment $OH$ completely lies inside the triangle $ABC$; but if triangle $ABC$ is obtuse-angled, then the condition about $P$ lying inside the triangle $ABC$ is really necessary.)
