2020 Maths Beyond Limits Camp Qualifying Quiz p7

Radek challenges you to a duel. He draws a triangle $ABC$ with a [i]small circle[/i] inside. Afterwards he marks the incenter of $ABC$ and connects it with the vertices of $ABC$. This results in a split of $ABC$ into three triangles. Now, in each move you may choose one of triangles, mark its incenter and connect it with vertices of chosen triangle (which would result in exchanging chosen triangle with three new ones). Your task is to, after a finite number of moves, mark some incenter inside the [i]small circle[/i]. Can you always do that, regardless of what triangle and circle was drawn by Radek?
