Problem Statement

Let ABCDABCD be a cyclic quadrilateral with circumcentre O,O, and the pair of opposite sides not parallel with each other. Let M=ABCDM=AB\cap CD and N=ADBC.N=AD\cap BC. Denote, by P,Q,S,T;P,Q,S,T; the intersection of the internal angle bisectors of MAN\angle MAN and MBN;\angle MBN; MBN\angle MBN and MCN;\angle MCN; MDN\angle MDN and MAN;\angle MAN; MCN\angle MCN and MDN.\angle MDN. Suppose that the four points P,Q,S,TP,Q,S,T are distinct. (a) Show that the four points P,Q,S,TP,Q,S,T are concyclic. Find the centre of this circle, and denote it as I.I. (b) Let E=ACBD.E=AC\cap BD. Prove that E,O,IE,O,I are collinear.
