Problem Statement

Let C1C_{1}, C2C_{2} be circles intersecting in XX, YY . Let AA, DD be points on C1C_{1} and BB, CC on C2C_2 such that AA, XX, CC are collinear and DD, XX, BB are collinear. The tangent to circle C1C_{1} at DD intersects BCBC and the tangent to C2C_{2} at BB in PP, RR respectively. The tangent to C2C_2 at CC intersects ADAD and tangent to C1C_1 at AA, in QQ, SS respectively. Let WW be the intersection of ADAD with the tangent to C2C_{2} at BB and ZZ the intersection of BCBC with the tangent to C1C_1 at AA. Prove that the circumcircles of triangles YWZYWZ, RSYRSY and PQYPQY have two points in common, or are tangent in the same point.
