Problem

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle. Let $DAC,EAB$, and $FBC$ be isosceles triangles exterior to $ABC$, with $DA = DC, EA = EB$, and $FB = FC$, such that

$\angle ADC = 2\angle BAC, \quad \angle BEA = 2 \angle ABC, \quad \angle CFB = 2 \angle ACB.$

Let $D'$ be the intersection of lines $DB$ and $EF$, let $E'$ be the intersection of $EC$ and $DF$, and let $F'$ be the intersection of $FA$ and $DE$. Find, with proof, the value of the sum

$\frac {DB}{DD'} + \frac {EC}{EE'} + \frac {FA}{FF'}.$
