  1. Problem 1300
    According to the problems of 1168 and 1298, K medium the arc AB and L medium the arc BC. Is K the center the circle passing through the points A,B,T_2 and T, and L is center ( T,T_1,B,C).
    The TB intersects IH in P in the circle (Ι,ΙΤ).Ιf AP intersects the circle
    (I,IT) and in T’, then <PTT’=<PIT’/2=90-<IPT’=90-<APB=<BAT’ so the points T,T’ ,B and A are concyclic.Then the points T’ and T_2 coincide.
    So the points A,P and T_2 are collinear.Similar the points T_1,P and C are
    collinear.

    Draw points D, E , F as per sketch
    Per the result of problem 638 quadrilaterals ATT2B and CTT1B are cyclic with centers at D and E.
    Per the result of problem 1298 T, P and B are collinear
    Perform geometry inversion center C , power of inversion= CB.CA circle E will become line AF
    T1 is the intersection of circles O1 and E so the image of T1 is the intersection of circle O1 and line AF which is point D.
    So C, T1 and D are collinear
    Similarly we also have A, T2, E are collinear.
    Let DT1 cut circle I at P’
    Triangles O1DT1 and IT1P’ are isosceles and similar ( case AA)
    So ∠DO1T1=∠T1IP’ => IP ‘⊥AC => P’ coincide to P
    With similar way ET2 will cut circle I at P
    So TB, IH, CT1 and AT2 are concurrent
