Problem
Let and be two points on the side of a convex quadrilateral satisfying . Let be the second point of intersection of the circumcircles of the triangles and , and let be the second point intersection of the circumcircles of the triangles and . Show that the points , , , lie on a circle.

Solution
Let and . Considering the powers of the point with respect to the circles and we obtain Since , we conclude that is the midpoint of the line segment . Similarly, and is the midpoint of the line segment . Therefore, . Now the equalities above give which implies that and lie on a circle.
