 Very beautiful and hard problem
Аватара пользователя
It is given the convex quadrilateral ABCD. Let:
P is intersection point of the diagonals AC and BD,
M is intersection point of the lines AB and CD,
N is intersection point of the lines AD and CB.
The line PN intersects AB and CD at the points X and Z respectively.
The line PM intersects BC and AD at the points Y and T respectively.
Prove that the lines MN, XY, ZT and AC intersects at a common point.

My questions are the following:
I know the statement is true but i don't know how to prove it, can you prove the problem?
Is it a famous theorem?
Have you ever seen the problem proposed?

Don't know if it's familiar, but via projective transformations one can write zillions of such problems.

And it is not hard at all. Send $ABCD$ to a square with a projective transformation and you will arrive to a trivial statement.
