Four Equal Triangles (Posted on 2013-06-16) Difficulty: 3 of 5

Here's a problem I found in the Problems section of a
math journal. The way I read it, it is not true.

Let ABCD be a convex quadrilateral. Prove that

there exists a point P inside ABCD such that
[PAB]=[PBC]=[PCD]=[PDA],

    if and only if

the diagonals bisect each other.

Here [XYZ] denotes the area of triangle XYZ.

I arrived at the same conclusion.


What about restating the problem by replacing
     "the diagonals bisect each other"
                  with
     "at least one diagonal bisects the other"?
