Problem

Let a,b\mathbf{a}, \mathbf{b} and c\mathbf{c} be three mutually perpendicular vectors of equal magnitude. If the vector x\mathbf{x} satisfies the equation a×{(x−b)×a}+b×{(x−c)×b}+c×{(x−a)×c}=0\mathbf{a} \times \{(\mathbf{x} - \mathbf{b}) \times \mathbf{a}\} + \mathbf{b} \times \{(\mathbf{x} - \mathbf{c}) \times \mathbf{b}\} + \mathbf{c} \times \{(\mathbf{x} - \mathbf{a}) \times \mathbf{c}\} = 0, then find x\mathbf{x}.
