| Jul 11, 2010 at 12:56 | comment | added | Benoît Kloeckner | There is a recent, simple and elementary proof in a recent volume of Elemente der Mathematik but I do not remember the name of its author. You start with an equilateral triangle and show in a few line that you can realise it as the Morley triangle of a triangl with arbitrary angles. | |
