Problem Statement

Let PP be the point of intersection of the diagonals of a convex quadrilateral ABCDABCD.Let X,Y,ZX,Y,Z be points on the interior of AB,BC,CDAB,BC,CD respectively such that AXXB=BYYC=CZZD=2\frac{AX}{XB}=\frac{BY}{YC}=\frac{CZ}{ZD}=2. Suppose that XYXY is tangent to the circumcircle of CYZ\triangle CYZ and that YZY Z is tangent to the circumcircle of BXY\triangle BXY.Show that APD=XYZ\angle APD=\angle XYZ.
