Problem

Cyclic quadrilateral with circumcenter is given. Point is the intersection of diagonals and . Let and be midpoints of the sides and , respectively. Suppose that , and are circumcircles of triangles , and , respectively. Let and be intersection points of and , which is not on the arc of , and the intersection point of and , which is not on the arc of , respectively. Prove that .

problem
Solution
Let be the second intersection of and . Since we have . So is a harmonic quadrilateral. Then hence is cyclic and . Similarly, we can show that and are collinear. Finally
