Problem Statement

Let ABCABC be a triangle with BAC=60\angle BAC=60^\circ. Let DD be a point on the line ACAC such that AB=ADAB = AD and AA lies between CC and DD. Suppose that there are two points EFE \ne F on the circumcircle of the triangle DBCDBC such that AE=AF=BCAE = AF = BC. Prove that the line EFEF passes through the circumcenter of ABCABC.
