Problem Statement

Consider a fixed circle Γ\Gamma with three fixed points A,B,A, B, and CC on it. Also, let us fix a real number λ(0,1)\lambda \in(0,1). For a variable point P∉{A,B,C}P \not\in\{A, B, C\} on Γ\Gamma, let MM be the point on the segment CPCP such that CM=λCPCM =\lambda\cdot CP . Let QQ be the second point of intersection of the circumcircles of the triangles AMPAMP and BMCBMC. Prove that as PP varies, the point QQ lies on a fixed circle.
