Let Ω be the circumcircle of the quadrilateral ABCD and let r be its radius.
First, notice that the points X,Y,Z,W are concyclic. Indeed, using oriented (modulo 180∘ ) angles,
∠(XW,XY)+∠(ZY,ZW)=∠(XA,XB)+∠(ZC,ZD)=−2∠A+∠B−2∠C+∠D=0.
Let ω be the circle passing through these four points. Our goal is to prove that O∈ω occurs if and only if P∈ω.
Next, we rule out the case when ABCD is a trapezium. Suppose that if ABCD is an isosceles trapezium; without loss of generality say AB∥CD. By symmetry, points X,Z,O and P lie on the symmetry axis (that is, the common perpendicular bisector of AB and CD ), therefore they are collinear. By the conditions of the problem, these four points are distinct and X and Z are on ω, so neither O, nor P can lie on ω; therefore the problem statement is obvious. From now on we assume that AB⊮CD and BC⊮AD.

Let AB and CD meet at Q, and let BC and AD meet at R. Without loss of generality, suppose that B lies between A and Q, and D lies between A and R. Now we show that line QR is the radical axis between circles Ω and ω.
Point W is the intersection point of the bisectors of ∠A and ∠D, so in triangle ADQ, point W is the incentre. Similarly, BY and CY are the external bisectors of ∠QBC and ∠BCQ, so in triangle BCQ, point Y is the excentre opposite to Q. Hence, both Y and W lie on the bisector of ∠DQA.
By ∠DQA=180∘−∠D−∠A=∠B−∠A we get
∠BYQ=∠YBA−∠YQB=2∠B−2∠DQA=2∠B−2∠B−∠A=2∠A=∠BAW
so the points A,B,Y,W are concyclic, and therefore QA⋅QB=QY⋅QW; hence, Q has equal power with respect to Ω and ω. It can be seen similarly that R has equal power with respect to the circles Ω and ω. Hence, the radical axis of Ω and ω is line QR.
Let lines OP and QR meet at point S. It is well-known that with respect to circle ABCD, the diagonal triangle PQR is autopolar. As consequences we have OP⊥QR, and the points P and S are symmetric to circle ABCD, so OS⋅OP=r2.
Notice that P and O lie inside Ω, so the polar line QR lies entirely outside, so S is different from P and O. Moreover,
SO⋅SP=OS⋅(OS−OP)=OS2−OS⋅OP=SO2−r2
so SO⋅SP is equal to the power of S with respect to Ω. Since S lies on the radical axis QR, it has equal power with respect to the two circles; therefore, SO⋅SP is equal to the power of S with respect to ω. From this, it follows that O∈ω if and only if P∈ω.
