Here is a puzzle I was told about many years ago but have
not seen since. I have not been able to solve it so am not
sure it can be.

Take any triangle and trisect its internal angles. The points
at which the trisecting lines first intersect each other form 
another triangle.
Prove that that triangle is alway equilateral.

I would be very grateful to anyone who can simply prove
(or disprove) the above statement.
