Problem Statement

In a quadrilateral ABCDABCD let A,B,CA', B', C' and DD' be the circumcenters of the triangles BCD,CDA,DABBCD, CDA, DAB and ABCABC, respectively. Denote by S(X,YZ)S(X, YZ) the plane which passes through the point XX and is perpendicular to the line YZ.YZ. Prove that if A,B,CA', B', C' and DD' don't lie in a plane, then four planes S(A,CD),S(B,AD),S(C,AB)S(A, C'D'), S(B, A'D'), S(C, A'B') and S(D,BC)S(D, B'C') pass through a common point.
