Many thanks Andrei (School 205, Bucharest) for this well explained solution. A correct solution was also sent by Thomas whilst Lawrence, of Beecroft Primary, may not have managed the complete journey - he certainly saw the importance of the parallel lines!

Let L be a point on BC and M on YZ so that:
BL º YM, and point K on AB and N on XY so that BK º YN.
As BL is parallel and congruent with YM, BLMY is a parallelogram, and LM is parallel and congruent with BY.

In the same situation, BK is parallel and congruent with YN and BKNY is a parallelogram.

So, KN is parallel and congruent with BY.

From the two relations, I observe that KN is parallel and congruent with LM and KLMN is a parallelogram.

So, KL º NM.
I already know that BK
º
NY and LB
º
MY, and from these three congruence relations, triangles KBL and NYM are congruent.


So, angles KBL and NYM are equal and so are angles ABC and XYZ.
