This paper presents several different proofs of the fact that the altitudes of a triangle are concurrent. Remarkably 12 proofs are given, using ideas ranging from the simple use of similarity to the use of coordinates. The paper is closed with some remarks that might show ideas to be pursued by a reader that might lead him to more complicated settings.
