Problem Statement

Let APD APD be an acute-angled triangle and let B,C B,C be two points on the segments (excluding their endpoints) AP,PD, AP,PD, respectively. The diagonals of ABCD ABCD meet at Q. Q. Denote by H1,H2 H_1,H_2 the orthocenters of APD,BPC, APD,BPC, respectively. The circumcircles of ABQ ABQ and CDQ CDQ intersect at XQ, X\neq Q, and the circumcircles of ADQ,BCQ ADQ,BCQ meet at YQ. Y\neq Q. Prove that if the line H1H2 H_1H_2 passes through X, X, then it also passes through Y. Y.
