Problem Statement

Let ABCDABCD be a quadrilateral and let ll be a line. Let ll intersect the lines AB,CD,BC,DA,AC,BDAB,CD,BC,DA,AC,BD at points X,X,Y,Y,Z,ZX,X',Y,Y',Z,Z' respectively. Given that these six points on ll are in the order X,Y,Z,X,Y,ZX,Y,Z,X',Y',Z', show that the circles with diameter XX,YY,ZZXX',YY',ZZ' are coaxal.
