Problem Statement

Acute triangle ABC\triangle ABC satis es AB<ACAB < AC. Let the circumcircle of this triangle be OO, and the midpoint of BC,CA,ABBC,CA,AB be D,E,FD,E,F. Let PP be the intersection of the circle with ABAB as its diameter and line DFDF, which is in the same side of CC with respect to ABAB. Let QQ be the intersection of the circle with ACAC as its diameter and the line DEDE, which is in the same side of BB with respect to ACAC. Let PQBC=RPQ \cap BC = R, and let the line passing through RR and perpendicular to BCBC meet AOAO at XX. Prove that AX=XRAX = XR.
