Problem Statement

Let ABCDABCD be a tetrahedron and let E,F,G,H,K,LE,F,G,H,K,L be points lying on the edges AB,BC,CDAB,BC,CD ,DA,DB,DC,DA,DB,DC respectively, in such a way that AEBE=BFCF=CGAG=DHAH=DKBK=DLCL.AE \cdot BE = BF \cdot CF = CG \cdot AG= DH \cdot AH=DK \cdot BK=DL \cdot CL. Prove that the points E,F,G,H,K,LE,F,G,H,K,L all lie on a sphere.
