Let C C and D D be two points on the circle such that AC AC and BD BD intersect at a point Q Q situated inside of the circle, and \angle AQB\equal{} 2 \angle COD. Let P P be a point that intersects the tangents to the circle that pass through the points C C and D D. Determine the length of segment OP OP.
