% English  : A semicircular arc gamma is drawn on AB as diameter.  C is a 
%            point on gamma other than A and B, and D is the foot of the 
%            perpendicular from C to AB. We consider three circles, gamma_1, 
%            gamma_2, gamma_3, all tangent to the line AB. Of these, gamma_1 
%            is inscribed in triangle ABC, while gamma_2 and gamma_3 are both 
%            tangent to CD and to gamma, one on each side of CD. Prove that 
%            gamma_1, gamma_2 and gamma_3 have a second tangent in common.
