Let $ABCD$ be an inscribed quadrilateral in a circle $c(O,R)$ (of circle $O$ and radius $R$). With centers the vertices $A,B,C,D$, we consider the circles $C_{A},C_{B},C_{C},C_{D}$ respectively, that do not intersect to each other . Circle $C_{A}$ intersects the sides of the quadrilateral at points $A_{1} , A_{2}$ , circle $C_{B}$ intersects the sides of the quadrilateral at points $B_{1} , B_{2}$ , circle $C_{C}$ at points $C_{1} , C_{2}$ and circle $C_{D}$ at points $C_{1} , C_{2}$ . Prove that the quadrilateral defined by lines $A_{1}A_{2} , B_{1}B_{2} , C_{1}C_{2} , D_{1}D_{2}$ is cyclic.

Let $K_1, K_2, K_3, K_4$ be intersection points of line $A_1A_2$ and $B_1B_2, B_1B_2$ and $C_1C_2, C_1C_2$ and $D_1D_2, D_1D_2$ and $A_1A_2$ respectively. By angle chasing:
$\angle BAD + \angle BCD = 180^{\circ} \Rightarrow
\angle AA_1A_2 = \frac{180^{\circ} - \angle BAD}{2} = \frac{\angle BCD}{2} = \angle K_1A_1B$
Similarly, we get $\angle K_1B_2A_1 = \frac{\angle ADC}{2}$
So, $\angle B_2K_1A_1 = \angle K_2K_1K_4 = \frac{\angle BCD + \angle ADC}{2}$
Similarly, $\angle C_1K_3D_2 = \frac{\angle ABC +\angle BAD}{2}$
Then we get that $K_1K_2K_3K_4$ is cyclic. So we're done
Note that points $A_1, B_2$ are on segment $AB$, $B_1, C_2$ are on segment $BC$, $C_1, D_2$ are on segment $CD$, and points $D_1, A_2$ are on segment $AD$. I think this should be given in the problem, anyways.
