Problem:
In an acute angled triangle $ABC$, $\angle A= 60^0$. Prove that the bisector of one of the angles formed by the altitudes drawn from $B$ and $C$ passes through the center of the circumcircle of the triangle $ABC$.

Let the feet of altitudes from $B,C$ be $E,F$. If $BE$ and $CF$ intersects at $H$ then the angles are $\angle BHC,\angle CHE,\angle EHF,\angle BHF$.

O is center.radius R
\[BC=\frac{2R}{sinA}=\sqrt{3}R\]
$\angle BOC=2x60^O=120^O$ AND $\angle BHC=120^O$. so, $B,H,O,C$ are cyclic.
in tri $BOC$, \[sin \angle OBC=\frac{sinA.R}{BC}=\frac{sin60^O.R}{\sqrt{3}R}=\frac{1}{2}\]
so, $\angle OBC=30^O$, $\angle OHC=30^O$[$B,H,O,C$ are cyclic.]
so, $HO$ bisects $\angle CHE=60^O$.Done.

When the altitudes intersect, 2 acute angles and 2 obtuse angles are formed. If my check is right, then $OH$ always divides the acute ones.
Do we need to prove this?
And also, there is an easy euclidean proof taking this fact into account.
