Problem Statement

Consider a triangle ABCABC, with the points A1A_1, A2A_2 on side BCBC, B1,B2ACB_1,B_2\in\overline{AC}, C1,C2ABC_1,C_2\in\overline{AB} such that AC1<AC2AC_1<AC_2, BA1<BA2BA_1<BA_2, CB1<CB2CB_1<CB_2. Let the circles AB1C1AB_1C_1 and AB2C2AB_2C_2 meet at AA and AA^*. Similarly, let the circles BC1A1BC_1A_1 and BC2A2BC_2A_2 intersect at BBB^*\neq B, let CA1B1CA_1B_1 and CA2B2CA_2B_2 intersect at CCC^*\neq C. Prove that the lines AAAA^*, BBBB^*, CCCC^* are concurrent.
