Problem Statement

Let OO be the circumcenter of triangle ABCABC. Choose a point XX on the circumcircle ⊙(ABC)\odot (ABC) such that OX∥BCOX\parallel BC. Assume that ⊙(AXO)\odot(AXO) intersects AB,ACAB, AC at E,FE, F, respectively, and OE,OFOE, OF intersect BCBC at P,QP, Q, respectively. Furthermore, assume that ⊙(XPQ)\odot(XP Q) and ⊙(ABC)\odot (ABC) intersect at RR. Prove that OROR and ⊙(XPQ)\odot (XP Q) are tangent to each other.
