In this section, the dimension of $E$ is 12. We assume that there exists in $\mathscr{L}(E)$, a family $(f_{1}, f_{2}, f_{3}, f_{4})$ of antisymmetric orthogonal automorphisms satisfying: $\forall i \neq j, f_{i}f_{j} + f_{j}f_{i} = 0$. Show that $f_{1}f_{2}f_{3}$ is an orthogonal automorphism, symmetric and not collinear to $\operatorname{Id}_{E}$.
