Problem Statement

Let ABC\triangle ABC be a triangle and let XX be a point in the interior of the triangle. The second intersection points of the lines XA,XBXA,XB and XCXC with the circumcircle of ABC\triangle ABC are P,QP,Q and RR. Let UU be a point on the ray XPXP (these are the points on the line XPXP such that PP and UU lie on the same side of XX). The line through UU parallel to ABAB intersects BQBQ in VV . The line through UU parallel to ACAC intersects CRCR in WW. Prove that Q,R,VQ, R, V , and WW lie on a circle.
