Let ω be the incircle of scalene triangle ABC. Let ω be tangent to AB and AC at points X and Y . Construct points X′ and Y′ on line segments AB and AC respectively such that AX′ = XB and AY ′ = Y C. Let line CX′
intersects ω at points P, Q such that P is closer to C than Q. Also let R be the intersection of lines CX′ and BY ′. Prove that CP = RX′
