Points $X,Y$ lie on the side $CD$ of a convex pentagon $ABCDE$ with $X$ between $Y$ and $C$. Suppose that the triangles $\bigtriangleup XCB, \bigtriangleup ABX, \bigtriangleup AXY, \bigtriangleup AYE, \bigtriangleup YED$ are all similar (in this exact order). Prove that circumcircles of the triangles $\bigtriangleup ACD, \bigtriangleup AXY$ are tangent. Pouria Mahmoudkhan Shirazi - Iran
