We say that a triangle $ABC$ is great if the following holds: for any point $D$ on the side $BC$, if $P$ and $Q$ are the feet of the perpendiculars from $D$ to the lines $AB$ and $AC$, respectively, then the reflection of $D$ in the line $PQ$ lies on the circumcircle of the triangle $ABC$. Prove that triangle $ABC$ is great if and only if $\angle A = 90^{\circ}$ and $AB = AC$. [i]Senior Problems Committee of the Australian Mathematical Olympiad Committee[/i]

In triangle $ABC$, angle $C$ is right and the two catheti are both length $1$. For one given the choice of the point $P$ on the cathetus $BC$, the point $Q$ on the hypotenuse and the point $R$ are plotted on the second cathetus so that $PQ$ is parallel to $AC$ and $QR$ is parallel to $BC$.
