The Fuhrmann triangle of a Triangle $\Delta ABC$ is the Triangle $\Delta F_CF_BF_A$ formed by reflecting the Mid-Arc Points $M_{AB}$, $M_{AC}$, $M_{BC}$ about the lines $AB$, $AC$, and $BC$. The Circumcircle of the Fuhrmann triangle is called the Fuhrmann Circle, and the lines $F_AM_{BC}$, $F_BM_{AC}$, and $F_CM_{AB}$ Concur at the Circumcenter $O$.
