Let A1,A2,A3,B1,B2,B3 be six distinct points on the plane. \par A1,A2 and A3 are collinear, likewise B1,B2 and B3. \par Let C1 be the intersection of the lines A2B3 and B2A3. \par Let C2 be the intersection of the lines A3B1 and B3A1. \par Let C3 be the intersection of the lines A1B2 and B1A2. \par Then C1,C2 and C3 are collinear.
