Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be an acute angled triangle with AC>ABAC>AB and incircle ω\omega. Let ω\omega touch the sides BC,CA,BC, CA, and ABAB at D,E,D, E, and FF respectively. Let XX and YY be points outside ABC\triangle ABC satisfying BDX=XEA=YDC=AFY=45.\angle BDX = \angle XEA = \angle YDC = \angle AFY = 45^{\circ}. Prove that the circumcircles of AXY,AEF\triangle AXY, \triangle AEF and ABC\triangle ABC meet at a point ZAZ\ne A.
