Abstract

This paper briefly describes a heuristic investigation using dynamic geometry of some concurrency, collinearity and other properties of a particular hexagon that would be of interest to mathematics olympiad enthusiasts. After managing to prove the initial result, further reflection on the proof led to an immediate generalisation, illustrating the so-called ‘discovery’ function of proof. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
