Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB \neq AC$ and with incenter $I$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of $BC$, and let $L$ be the midpoint of the circular arc $BAC$. Lines through $M$ parallel to $BI,CI$ meet $AB,AC$ at $E$ and $F$, respectively, and meet $LB$ and $LC$ at $P$ and $Q$, respectively. Show that $I$ lies on the radical axis of the circumcircles of triangles $EMF$ and $PMQ$. Proposed by Andrew Wu
