Problem
We say that a triangle 
is great if the following holds: for any point 
on the side 
, if 
and 
are the feet of the perpendiculars from to the lines 
and 
, respectively, then the reflection of in the line 
lies on the circumcircle of the triangle . Prove that triangle is great if and only if 
and 
.
