Solution:
Let O and H be the circumcenter and orthocenter of ABC. Recall that
∠BOC∠BHC∠BIC=2∠A,=180∘−∠A,=90∘+21∠A.
As ABC is acute, A, I, O, H all lie on the same side of BC.
- If ∠A>60∘, then ∠BOC>∠BIC, so O lies inside (BIC).
- If ∠A<60∘, then ∠BHC>∠BIC, so H lies inside (BIC).
- If ∠A=60∘, then O and H are on (BIC).
In all cases, two intersections are guaranteed.
