Problem Statement

The incircle of triangle ABCABC touches its sides BCBC, ACAC, ABAB at the points A1A_{1}, B1B_{1}, C1C_{1} respectively. A segment AA1AA_{1} intersects the incircle at the point QA1Q\ne A_{1}. A line \ell through AA is parallel to BCBC. Lines A1C1A_{1}C_{1} and A1B1A_{1}B_{1} intersect \ell at the points PP and RR respectively. Prove that PQR=B1QC1\angle PQR=\angle B_{1}QC_{1}. A. Polyansky
