Prove that the radical axis of the incircles of the triangles ABX and ACX passes through a point independent of X. This is a slight extension of the [url=http://www.mathlinks.ro/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=41033]IMO Shortlist 2004 geometry problem 7[/url] and can be found, together with the proposed solution, among the files uploaded at http://www.mathlinks.ro/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=15622 . Note that the problem was proposed by Russia. I could not find the names of the authors, but I have two particular persons under suspicion. Maybe somebody could shade some light on this... Darij

[b]p1.[/b] Darth Vader urgently needed a new Death Star battle station. He sent requests to four planets asking how much time they would need to build it. The Mandalorians answered that they can build it in one year, the Sorganians in one and a half year, the Nevarroins in two years, and the Klatoonians in three years. To expedite the work Darth Vader decided to hire all of them to work together. The Rebels need to know when the Death Star is operational. Can you help the Rebels and find the number of days needed if all four planets work together? We assume that one year $= 365$ days.

Three rebellian camps are located at the vertices of a triangle. The roads connecting the camps are along the sides of the triangle.
