Problem
As shown in the figure, quadrilateral is inscribed in a circle with as its diameter, , and the intersection of and . Extend line segment and through to and respectively, such that . Extend to such that . Prove that points , , and lie on one circle. (posed by Liu Jiangfeng)

Solution
As shown in the figure, connect , and . Since , we have Furthermore, , then Multiplying ① by ②, we get , then as , and thus . As is known that , then points , , and lie on one circle. So, That means that points , , and lie on one circle.
