I have just found this problem in "cut the knot". Its quite interesting. Here it is,
Prove that "The three points of intersection of the adjacent trisectors of the angles of any triangle form an equilateral triangle."

angle <F= 2c/3 +2a/3 +<AEF + <CDF -180
now if any one can prove that, 2a/3 + <AEF + < CDF -180 = c/3 ,
then <F = <c
