    There is given a circle kk on the plane, a chord ABAB of kk, furthermore four interior points, CC, DD, EE and FF, on the line segment ABAB. Draw an arbitrary chord X1X2X_1 X_2 of kk through point CC, a chord Y1Y2Y_1 Y_2 through DD, a chord U1U2U_1 U_2 through EE, finally a chord V1V2V_1 V_2 through FF in such a way that X1X_1, Y1Y_1, U1U_1 and V1V_1 lie on the same side of the line ABAB, and AX1⋅BX2X1X2=AY2⋅BY1Y1Y2=AU1⋅BU2U1U2=AV2⋅BV1V1V2\frac{AX_1\cdot BX_2}{X_1X_2} =\frac{AY_2\cdot BY_1}{Y_1Y_2} =\frac{AU_1\cdot BU_2}{U_1U_2} =\frac{AV_2\cdot BV_1}{V_1V_2} holds. Let ZZ be the intersection of the lines X1X2X_1 X_2 and Y1Y2Y_1 Y_2, and let WWbe the intersection of U1U2U_1 U_2 and V1V2V_1 V_2. Show that the lines ZWZW obtained in this way are concurrent or they are parallel to each other.
