Let $H$ be the orthocenter of a triangle $ABC$, and let $D$ be the midpoint of the segment $AH$.
The altitude $BH$ of triangle $ABC$ intersects the perpendicular to the line $AB$ through the point $A$ at the point $M$.
The altitude $CH$ of triangle $ABC$ intersects the perpendicular to the line $CA$ through the point $A$ at the point $N$.
The perpendicular bisector of the segment $AB$ intersects the perpendicular to the line $BC$ through the point $B$ at the point $U$.
The perpendicular bisector of the segment $CA$ intersects the perpendicular to the line $BC$ through the point $C$ at the point $V$.
Finally, let $E$ be the midpoint of the side $BC$ of triangle $ABC$.
Prove that the points $D$, $M$, $N$, $U$, $V$ all lie on one and the same perpendicular to the line $AE$.
[i]Extensions.[/i] In other words, we have to show that the points $M$, $N$, $U$, $V$ lie on the perpendicular to the line $AE$ through the point $D$. Additionally, one can find two more points on this perpendicular:
[b](a)[/b] The nine-point circle of triangle $ABC$ is known to pass through the midpoint $E$ of its side $BC$. Let $D^{\prime}$ be the point where this nine-point circle intersects the line $AE$ apart from $E$. Then, the point $D^{\prime}$ lies on the perpendicular to the line $AE$ through the point $D$.
[b](b)[/b] Let the tangent to the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$ at the point $A$ intersect the line $BC$ at a point $X$. Then, the point $X$ lies on the perpendicular to the line $AE$ through the point $D$.
[i]Comment.[/i] The actual problem was created by Victor Thébault around 1950 (cf. Hyacinthos messages #1102 and #1551). The extension [b](a)[/b] initially was a (pretty trivial) lemma in Thébault's solution of the problem. Extension [b](b)[/b] is rather new; in the form "prove that $X\in UV$", it was [url=http://www.mathlinks.ro/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=3659]proposed by Valentin Vornicu for the Balkan MO 2003[/url], however it circulated in the Hyacinthos newsgroup before (Hyacinthos messages #7240 and #7242), where different solutions of the problem were discussed as well. Hereby, "Hyacinthos" always refers to the triangle geometry newsgroup "Hyacinthos", which can be found at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Hyacinthos .
I proposed the problem for the QEDMO math fight wishing to draw some attention to it. It has a rather short and elementary solution, by the way (without using radical axes or inversion like the standard solutions).

In a village, there are $n$ houses with $n>2$ and all of them are not collinear. We want to generate a water resource in the village. For doing this, point $A$ is [i]better[/i] than point $B$ if the sum of the distances from point $A$ to the houses is less than the sum of the distances from point $B$ to the houses. We call a point [i]ideal[/i] if there doesn’t exist any [i]better[/i] point than it. Prove that there exist at most $1$ [i]ideal[/i] point to generate the resource.
