2 ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral. P is the intersection of its diagonals and O is the circumcenter of the
quadrilateral. Let X and Y be the circumcircles of 4 ABO and 4CDO, respectively. M and N are the
midpoints of arcs AB (of X ) and CD (of Y ) that do not pass through O. Prove that M, N, and P are
collinear.
