KöMaL problem A, 2015

Geometry Difficulty 8.0 Shortlist Prove it Hungary

Two circles, k1k_1 and k2k_2 meet at points AA and BB. Points CC and DD lie on k1k_1, while points EE and FF lie on circle k2k_2 in such a way that AA, CC, EE are collinear and BB, DD, FF are collinear, too. Points GG and HH are other two points on lines ACEACE and BDFBDF, respectively. The line CHCH meets FGFG and k1k_1 the second time at II and JJ, respectively. The line DGDG meets EHEH and k1k_1 the second time at KK and LL, respectively. Circle k2k_2 meets the lines EHKEHK and FGIFGI the second time at MM and NN, respectively. The points A,B,C,…,NA,B,C,\ldots,N are distinct. Show that II, JJ, KK, LL, MM and NN are either concyclic or collinear.
