Triangle inscribed in a circle and with sides going through three given points B, C, D (Castillon's problem)
1) Take three points b, c, d in the
circle.
2) The line bD cuts the circle at
b1.
3) The line b1B cuts the circle at
b2.
4) The line b2C cuts the circle at
b'.
5) Repeat the steps 2, 3, 4
with c instead b, and get c'; and with d instead b, and get d'.
6) The lines bc', cb' intersect at
M.
7) The lines bd', b'd intersect at
N.
8) The line MN cuts the circle in
a vertex X of the requested triangle.
