Let $O$ and $H$ be the circumcenter and the orthocenter, respectively, of an acute triangle $ABC$. Points $D$ and $E$ are chosen from sides $AB$ and $AC$, respectively, such that $A$, $D$, $O$, $E$ are concyclic. Let $P$ be a point on the circumcircle of triangle $ABC$. The line passing $P$ and parallel to $OD$ intersects $AB$ at point $X$, while the line passing $P$ and parallel to $OE$ intersects $AC$ at $Y$. Suppose that the perpendicular bisector of $\overline{HP}$ does not coincide with $XY$, but intersect $XY$ at $Q$, and that points $A$, $Q$ lies on the different sides of $DE$. Prove that $\angle EQD = \angle BAC$. Proposed by Shuang-Yen Lee
